Milwaukee, WI (Sports Network) - Prince Fielders two-run single capped a four-run ninth-inning rally, as the Milwaukee Brewers battled back to stun Houston, 6-5, in the opener of a three-game series at Miller Park. Lardarius Webb Jersey . Houston had taken a 5-2 lead when Carlos Lee scored on a double-play grounder in top of the ninth. However, the Brewers mounted a comeback against Houston closer Matt Lindstrom (2-2), who retired leadoff man Alcides Escobar. George Kottaras then walked and pinch-hitter Joe Inglett made it a one-run contest by homering off the right-field foul pole. Rickie Weeks slapped a two-strike pitch to left for a single and Corey Hart walked before Fielder ripped a pitch down the right-field line. The ball caromed off the wall protruding in foul territory and rolled into the outfield. Weeks scored the tying run and Hart narrowly beat the throw home, sliding underneath the tag of catcher Jason Castro with the decisive run. "They put some good swings on him, but Lindstrom has been so good all year," said Houston manager Brad Mills. "Tonight, was just a little hiccup but hes going to come back and hell be fine." Fielder added an RBI double for the Brewers, who were swept in three games by the Astros last week in Houston. "In the ninth, we got some good at-bats against one of the hottest teams," said Milwaukee manager Ken Macha. Milwaukee starter Dave Bush allowed three runs -- two earned -- on seven hits and three walks in six full frames. Kameron Loe (2-2) picked up the win despite yielding a run in the top of the ninth. Hunter Pence stroked a two-run double and Geoff Blum had three hits and scored two runs for the Astros, who have dropped two in a row on the heels of a seven-game win streak. Wandy Rodriguez gave up two runs -- one earned -- on eight hits over his 6 1/3-inning start. The lefty totaled seven strikeouts and did not issue a walk. The Brewers grabbed a 1-0 lead on an RBI double in the second by Escobar. Houston moved ahead in its next turn at the plate. Michael Bourn doubled and Jeff Keppinger walked to begin the third. With Pence batting, Bourn stole third as part of a double steal before both he and Keppinger scored on the right-fielders double. After the clubs traded runs in the fifth, the Astros increased their lead to 4-2 with a two-out rally in the seventh. Milwaukee reliever Todd Coffey quickly retired the first two batters, but Geoff Blum singled, took second on a walk to Brett Wallace and came home on Chris Johnsons single to center.

Byfuglien scored at 1:30 of overtime to give the Thrashers a 2-1 victory Sunday, extending the reeling Islanders winless streak to 13 games. The Islanders are on their longest slide since playing 14 straight without a win Feb. 13-March 15, 1990. That streak included three ties. The six-foot-five, 265-pound Byfuglien drilled a powerful shot between the circles past Rick DiPietro. "I was looking to pass, but I had a shot, saw it and took it," Byfuglien said. The Islanders have only 12 goals in their last 11 games. "We had several chances to win," New Yorks Matt Moulson said. "We have to score goals. ... You cant take comfort in getting just one point." DiPietro, who had allowed 17 goals while losing his last three starts, made 33 saves and held the Thrashers to one goal in regulation. "He was our best player," New York interim coach Jack Capuano said. "He was outstanding. He was what I thought he was going to be." DiPietro couldnt stop the winner by Byfuglien, the playoff star for the Chicago Blackhawks last season who leads the NHL with four game winners this season. "Im not sure what happened," DiPietro said. "He made a nice shot." Thrashers coach Craig Ramsay said Byfuglien flourishes with the game on the line. "He wants to be a difference-maker all the time," Ramsay said. "Thats the biggest asset a hockey player can have ... is to want to be the difference-maker, to want to be the guy, to be the man. He puts his hand up." Byfuglien also had an assist. He has seven goals and 19 points. The Islanders (4-12-4) havent won since opening the season 4-1-2. "Its unacceptable for us," DiPietro said. Authentic Wes Welker Jersey. "We need to win games. There are no excuses. ... Its frustrating, because we know what were capable of doing." The Islanders are 0-3 since Scott Gordon was fired as coach. New York has been outscored 10-4 in two games under Capuano, the former AHL coach, and 48-18 during the losing streak. Byfuglien said goalie Ondrej Pavelec deserved credit for the win. Pavelec stopped 28 shots, including a lunging glove save to his left late in regulation. "We had to win it for him," Byfuglien said. "He kept us in the game." Pavelec has allowed one goal in two straight wins, including a 5-0 shutout at Washington on Friday night. He has made a strong recovery after fainting in front of the net early in the opening game Oct. 8 and sustaining a concussion. "I feel really good in the net and comfortable," Pavelec said. "It is a team effort. ... The guys in front played great tonight." Michael Grabner knocked in a deflection in front of the net with only 13 seconds remaining in the second period to give the Islanders a 1-0 lead. Nik Antropovs power-play shot from the right circle tied it early in the third period. Jim Slater was denied on his chance to give Atlanta the lead with 6:17 remaining in regulation. Slater skated behind the net and attempted to score by wrapping his stick around the post, but DiPietro made the stop. A video review confirmed the call on the ice. New York defenceman Mike Mottau was helped off the ice in the first period after he was hit by a puck, leaving a bad cut above his right eye. Mottau did not return.
