New York, NY (Sports Network) - Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Prince Fielder earned the National Leagues weekly award for games played through April 10. The left-handed hitting slugger led Major League Baseball with 11 runs batted in while hitting .440 (11-for-25) with a pair of home runs over seven games during the week. He also totaled an .840 slugging percentage and .500 on-base percentage. On Wednesday, Fielder went 3-for-4 with three RBI, leading his club to a 5-4 win over Atlanta. Three days later, he tied the franchise record for doubles in a game with three, going 3-for-4 with four RBI in a 6-0 decision over the Cubs. Fielder rounded out the week on Sunday by collecting three hits, including a homer, and knocking in a pair as Milwaukee edged the Cubs, 6-5, in the rubber match of a three-game series. Other nominees for the award included Milwaukee teammates, closer John Axford and left-hander Chris Narveson, Diamondbacks utilityman Willie Bloomquist, Padres catcher Nick Hundley and pitcher Aaron Harang, Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp, Reds second baseman Brandon Phillips, Phillies third baseman Placido Polanco, Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki, pitcher Jhoulys Chacin and closer Huston Street, and Giants pitcher Tim Lincecum. cheap jerseys china .

James McDonald pitched into the seventh inning Thursday and Neil Walker doubled home a pair of runs, leading Pittsburgh to a 5-3 victory and a two-game sweep of the Cincinnati Reds. The Pirates arrived in town with a six-game losing streak and came away with their first series sweep in Cincinnati since 2003. They did it with pitching -- Charlie Morton threw a five-hitter for a 5-0 win in the opener. McDonald (3-3) allowed one run and seven hits in 6 2-3 innings, handling one of the NLs most prolific lineups in one of its most hitter-friendly ballparks. "This is a good hitting team with a lot of great hitters in their lineup," McDonald said. "For us to come in here and hold them to that many runs is a big accomplishment." The Pirates finally broke through against Johnny Cueto (2-1), who had won his past seven decisions against them. Ryan Doumit added a solo homer. The sweep left Pittsburgh 13-12 on the road, a vast improvement over last years 17-64 mark away from home. The Pirates didnt get their 13th road win last season until July 28. Pittsburgh has given the defending NL Central champions a tough time so far this season, winning five of their six games. Last year, the Reds took the season series 10-6. "Theyve been playing us tough all year," manager Dusty Baker said. "It just goes to show you, anyone can beat you no matter where they are in the standings. We made a few mistakes, which didnt help, but it was mostly McDonalds pitching." The Pirates starters gave up one run and 12 hits in 15 2-3 innings during the series. Jay Bruce led off the second with a homer off McDonald, a drive to centre that made an impact. "The first inning was kind of slow," McDonald said. "I think that Bruce homer kind of woke me up a little bit, got a little fight in me. Thats when I turned it on. I need to work on having that from the first inning on." Joey Votto singled home a run in the eighth off Joe ;Beimel.dddddddddddd Bruce hit another solo homer in the ninth off Joel Hanrahan, who got his 12th save in as many chances. Cueto has done some of his best pitching against the Pirates, going 7-0 in his previous nine starts against them with a 1.74 ERA. But the right-hander had a rough time from the start of this one. He walked two in the second inning, when the Pirates loaded the bases with one out. Ronny Cedeno took a called third strike on a full-count breaking ball that was right down the middle, and McDonald flied out to end the threat. Through two innings, Cueto threw 44 pitches -- 20 of them out of the strike zone. Cueto got into trouble again after retiring the first two batters to open the fifth. Andrew McCutchen doubled and came around on Xavier Pauls single. After a walk to Garrett Jones, Walker doubled off the wall in centre for a 3-1 lead. It was a pleasing rally for the Pirates, who had struggled to hit with runners in scoring position lately. "Incrementally, weve gotten better," manager Clint Hurdle said. "Weve made some progress in some areas. Its good to see. "I do believe its closer to them getting in an offensive consistency that we should be in. Ill be looking forward to the day when this thing gets rolling, and it seems to me like its getting closer every day we play." Doumit led off the sixth with his fourth homer off reliever Jordan Smith. McCutchen doubled home a run in the eighth against Nick Masset.
