MILWAUKEE — Nyjer Morgan drove in the winning run with two outs in the ninth, Prince Fielder hit two homers and the Milwaukee Brewers returned to their winning ways at home with a 7-6 come-from-behind win over the New York Mets on Wednesday night.

Milwaukee trailed 6-2 before scoring four times in the eighth, capped by Fielder's 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 for the winner and was mobbed at second base by Fielder first, then Weeks as he pointed back to his teammates in celebration.

Ronny Paulino hit a three-run homer for the Mets as part of a five-run eighth that made it 6-2, but New York's bullpen couldn't hold it.
