Fielder pursuing Brewers’ RBI record

Prince Fielder is taking his pursuit of a 26-year-old Brewers record out on the road. Five RBIs on the team’s just-completed homestand gave Fielder 125 this season, just shy of the franchise mark set by fellow left-handed-hitting first baseman Cecil Cooper in 1983. Fielder will continue his pursuit of the record when the Brewers begin a three-game series in Arizona on Friday night, and Cooper, the manager of the Houston Astros, will be watching the box scores.


“He’s a good young player, and he’s going to break a lot more [records] before he’s done,” Cooper said Wednesday while the Astros were in the middle of a series against the Braves.

Fielder is well aware of Cooper’s accomplishments during his 11 seasons in Milwaukee and 17 seasons in the Major Leagues. Fielder ticked off some of Cooper’s credentials, including a .298 career batting average and two big run-production seasons. Cooper led the American League with 122 RBIs in 1980, then tied Boston’s Jim Rice for the lead in ‘83 with 126.

Crew’s bats silenced by Wainwright

Casey McGehee snapped his bat over his knee after a fifth-inning strikeout, and that said it all for the Brewers on a frustrating homestand.

Adam Wainwright was the latest opposing ace to shut down Milwaukee’s offense, tossing seven scoreless innings in the Cardinals’ 5-1 win over the Brewers at Miller Park on Wednesday. Albert Pujols hit a pair of home runs and drove in three to cap a three-game St. Louis sweep.

The Brewers finished their homestand with a 1-5 record and McGehee wasn’t Milwaukee’s only hitter feeling frustrated after the team scored 10 total runs over those six games. Chris Carpenter twirled a one-hit shutout on Monday, and Wainwright (18-7) was nearly as good, scattering five hits with six strikeouts and only one walk.
