Prince Fielder extended his hitting streak to 11 games with an RBI single in the first inning Friday night off Washington RHP Collin Balester.

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)

Prince Fielder got into an altercation with Manny Parra in the dugout after Parra was removed from his start on Monday. Cameras caught Fielder shoving Parra to the dugout floor. Parra had just departed after giving up six runs in six innings in the contest. Fielder then shoved Parra twice before teammates pulled him away. Fielder remained in the game afterwards.It was reminiscent of Aug. 2 last season, when manager Ned Yost got into a heated dispute with catcher Johnny Estrada in the dugout tunnel during a loss to the Mets and players intervened. That came during a run of 10 losses in 14 games, a fade that dropped Milwaukee out of first place. Analysis: Fielder is unlikely to be suspended by the team in a pennant race, so consider him a must-start in leagues. He had been hot and resurgent as a Fantasy superstar again after a slow start.

ESPN has footage of the shoving match. Here’s the fallout of the altercation:

Prince Fielder was ejected in the ninth inning of Thursday’s game against the Cubs for arguing balls and strikes. Fielder grounded out in the ninth, smashed his bat into pieces, and then proceeded to give the umpire plenty of verbal abuse before being tossed. At least he’s not hurt, though Brewers fans are probably a little hot under the collar as well after a four-game sweep at the hands of the arch rival Cubs. Fielder did homer in the game, his 22nd of the season. (Rotowire)

Prince Fielder hit his 21st homer of the season Wednesday night in a losing effort to the Cubs. Fielder finished 2-for-3 with one RBI, the result of his solo shot in the ninth inning.
