Fielder, Brewers eyeing sweep of Astros

Jun 1, 2008 - 1:25 PM Houston (30-27) at Milwaukee (28-28), 2:05 pm EDT

MILWAUKEE (Ticker) -- Prince Fielder and the Milwaukee Brewers are seeking a three-game series sweep of the Houston Astros on Sunday.

Fielder blasted a two-run shot - his eighth home run of the season - Saturday as the Brewers held on for a 4-1 victory over the Astros. Fielder also connected on a two-run homer in Friday's 5-1 win over Houston.

The 24-year-old Fielder, who led the National League with 50 home runs last season, is batting just .274 with 29 RBI this season.

Astros starter Shawn Chacon (2-0, 3.95 ERA), who is looking for his third straight win following nine consecutive no decisions, will hope to contain Fielder and the rest of the Brewers' talented offense.

Chacon allowed two runs and seven hits with no walks and seven strikeouts over seven innings during Tuesday's 8-2 triumph over the St. Louis Cardinals. Unfortunately for Houston, it has not recorded a win since Chacon's impressive outing.

The Astros will attempt to end their four-game losing streak against righthander Dave Bush (1-5, 6.04), who yielded just two runs and six hits over seven frames but did not receive a decision in a 3-2 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday.

Milwaukee has won five of its previous six games.
