MILWAUKEE -- Nyjer Morgan said he felt absolutely no pressure when hitting with two outs in the ninth inning. Thats because he believed it was the eighth. Morgan was still laughing in the clubhouse after his game-winning double and Prince Fielder was all smiles, too, after hitting two homers in the Milwaukee Brewers 7-6 come-from-behind victory over the New York Mets on Wednesday night. "Seriously, I honestly thought Prince put us up and I thought it was the bottom of the eighth," Morgan said. "I guess it worked out, and a good thing for us." Morgans reaction on the field seemed to confirm he had no idea what happened. Milwaukee trailed 6-2 before scoring four times in the eighth, capped by Fielders second two-run blast. Craig Counsell singled with one out in the ninth off Dale Thayer (0-1) and stole second when Rickie Weeks struck out. Morgan then hit a ball down the right-field line to end it, but rounded first before starting to look back. He reached second for a double and was mobbed by Fielder. Both of them were chuckling at the highlights on the clubhouse TVs. "When he looked back, thats why he got so excited, on top of already being excited," said Fielder, who has six homers in the last six games. "It was like double the excitement because he was going to call a timeout at second." Ronny Paulino hit a three-run homer for the Mets as part of a five-run eighth that made it 6-2, but New Yorks bullpen couldnt hold it. John Axford (2-1) pitched the ninth for the win. Milwaukee has the best home mark in the majors at 22-8 and havent lost consecutive games at home all season. The Mets saw their three-game winning streak snapped after winning the opener in this series on Tuesday night. Milwaukees bullpen had a 1.88 earned-run average over its previous 72 innings before Kameron Loes disaster in the eighth with the Brewers ahead 2-1. Jose Reyes singled and stole second and Justin Turner walked before New York snapped an 0-for-7 streak with runners in scoring position when Carlos Beltran doubled down the right-field line to tie it. Angel Pagan followed with an RBI single to give New York a 3-2 lead and a bigger celebration followed when Paulino hit his first homer in a Mets uniform three batters later. Reyes bounced through the dugout, giving Paulino a two-fisted bump along the way, but the good feelings wouldnt last. "Its nothing new," Mets manager Terry Collins said. "Right now, theres an empty feeling because we thought we had that one pretty much wrapped up." Fielder and the rest of the Brewers felt it was close to over, too, but Milwaukee answered right back against the Mets bullpen, which came in as one of the worst in the National League with a 4.29 ERA. "That eighth inning was tough," Fielder said. "But weve been playing hard all year, even when were down. We knew if we went out there and at least tried to, not necessarily come back, but just try to do our job and have good at-bats and just do something." Ryan Braun hit a two-run double off Pedro Beato to cut it to 6-4 after Counsell walked and Morgan singled. Fielder added an opposite-field blast off Jason Isringhausen that tied it at 6-6. "We talk about the good teams and how this has to happen through the season," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. "The more times you do it, the more confidence you have that youre going to do it. And then it becomes a thing where its no big deal to be down two, three, four runs. Then it becomes a great team." Fielder passed Gorman Thomas for third on Milwaukees all-time home run list with 209. "I made a mistake," Isringhausen said. "I knew I had first base open, and as hot as hes been, I shouldnt give him anything to hit right there." Reyes has been New Yorks biggest spark recently. He extended his hitting streak to 12 with a double to lead off the game. Reyes also reached in the third on a walk before doing the most damage in the eighth, when he singled to extend his majors-best mark of 30 multihit games that set the stage for the rally the bullpen couldnt protect. New York scored first when Brewers starter Randy Wolf was called for a balk in the fourth, but Braun singled in the bottom of the inning and Fielder laced a shot off Mets starter Mike Pelfrey to put Milwaukee up 2-1. It would be all the offence for either side until the wild eighth. "Its fun," Fielder said. "Not good on your heart, but its fun." NOTES: It was Fielders 21st multihomer game of his career. ... Next up for Fielder on the franchise home run list is Geoff Jenkins, who has 212. ...

He got an answer for that question on Saturday night. Poreda pitched two scoreless innings to get the win when the Texas Rangers held off the Seattle Mariners for a 6-3 victory Saturday night. Mitch Moreland drove in Prince Fielder with a tiebreaking sacrifice fly in the eighth, and Texas added two more runs in the ninth. It was Poredas first victory since June 25, 2009, for the Chicago White Sox against the Los Angeles Dodgers. "Its amazing just to be back," Poreda said. "Its amazing to be put in the opportunity to get a win." Poreda (1-0) allowed one hit, struck out two and issued an intentional walk. With two runners on in the seventh inning, Poreda struck out Kyle Seager with a slider to keep the game tied at 3. "He threw strikes, had a good changeup working," Rangers manager Ron Washington said. "It helped us tremendously that he gave us those two innings." Texas added two more runs in the ninth against Joe Beimel. Leonys Martin scored on a wild pitch and Fielder singled in Elvis Andrus to give Texas a 6-3 cushion. Joakim Soria pitched a scoreless ninth for his sixth save in six chances. Poreda is getting more work due in part to Pedro Figueroa landing on the disabled list with left elbow inflammation. But Poreda thinks there is room in the bullpen for both left-handers when Figueroa returns. He also isnt planning to wait another five years to get his next victory. "I have a lot higher expectations and goals than just one win. This is just the start of a great season," Poreda said. In the leadoff spot for the first time this season, Michael Saunders homered off Colby Lewis to give the Mariners an early 1-0 lead.dddddddddddd Seager led off the second with another homer and then scored on Mike Zuninos sacrifice fly in the fourth. The Rangers appeared to be in trouble, down 3-0 with Felix Hernandez on the mound for Seattle. But Texas managed to run up Hernandezs pitch count and broke through for three runs in the fifth inning. Singles from Moreland, Donnie Murphy and Martin loaded the bases with no outs. Robinson Chirinos drew a walk on four pitches to push Moreland across for the Rangers first run. Michael Choice singled in another run and Andrus sacrifice fly tied it at 3. "They were swinging at the first pitch and I was making a mistake staying in the middle of the plate and they were able to put a good swing on it," Hernandez said. "Three straight hits and after that, I dont even remember the last time I walked somebody on four straight pitches with the bases loaded." Hernandez allowed five hits in six innings. He struck out four and walked three. Charlie Furbush (0-2) got the loss. NOTES: Texas is expected to activate LHP Matt Harrison from the 15-day disabled to start Sundays series finale. Harrison hasnt appeared in a game since April 6, 2013. Harrison was the opening-day starter for Texas last season but only made two starts before landing on the disabled list in need of surgeries to his back and torso. He won 18 games for the Rangers in 2012. RHP Brandon Maurer (0-0, 2.08 ERA) will start for Seattle ... It was Saunders third career leadoff homer. ... Seager is batting .360 (9 for 25) with three homers and seven RBIs in his last seven starts. Hes raised his average from .170 to .213 over that span. ' ' '
