'Baby Brewers' pound Pirates

MILWAUKEE -- Prince Fielder will take this kind of pummeling anytime.
The rarely-used rookie hit a two-run, pinch-hit homer off Jose Mesa in the ninth inning Wednesday to give the Brewers a 6-5 victory over the Pirates.
"We just couldn't wait for him to get to home plate so we could beat him up," said fellow rookie J.J. Hardy, who helped the Brewers celebrate their first winning hit of the season with a pounding of Fielder, the son of former Tiger Cecil Fielder.
Hardy hit a two-run homer earlier in the game, as did Rickie Weeks, another of the "Baby Brewers" who are being counted upon to reverse the club's losing legacy.
This is just the start, Fielder suggested.
"Hopefully we'll be able to do that for at least 10 more years,'"' Fielder said after the trio of rookies provided all the pop at the plate.
Mesa (2-8) walked pinch-hitter Lyle Overbay on four pitches, then grooved an 0-1 splitter that Fielder sent to second-deck porch in right field, 400 feet away.
