Prince Fielder made amends by apologizing, then hit a two-run homer Tuesday night that helped the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Cincinnati Reds 8-1 and quickly move beyond their ugly altercation in the dugout. The Brewers were on their best behavior a day after Fielder shoved pitcher Manny Parra in the dugout during a series-opening loss. Fielder apologized before the game on Tuesday, then helped Milwaukee’s uptight offense relax by hitting his sixth homer in his last nine games. Fielder’s homer in the eighth off Nick Masset extended his hitting streak to nine games. He finished 1-for-4 with two runs and one walk. Fielder is 12-for-32 (.375) with the six homers and eight RBI during the hitting streak. Fielder is not only landing punches off the field, he is also doing damage in between the white lines and starting to produce like we expected from Day 1. Continue to start Fielder in all Fantasy formats. “That’s just something that happened in the moment,” he said. “I can’t take it back. I could have handled it better. But I don’t apologize for the full meaning behind it and the fire.” Fielder was included in Wednesday’s lineup. (CBS Sports, Rotoworld)
