The Brewers may be fielding offers for Prince Fielder, but Ken Rosenthal says they aren't likely to part with the slugger.

The turning point? No, it wasn't Shane Victorino's jaw-dropping grand slam in the second inning. No, it wasn't Prince Fielder's feeble groundout in the eighth with two men on in a three-run game.

No, here was the turning point of Game 2: Phillies starting pitcher Brett Myers -- at the plate -- staring down CC Sabathia during an epic at-bat in the fateful second inning, the white-towel waving fans roaring after every pitch.

There was Myers, fighting off a killer 79-mph slider. There was Myers, swatting away a 97-mph heater.

Milwaukee first baseman Prince Fielder apologized Tuesday for pushing a teammate in the dugout during a loss, saying he should have done a better job of handling frustration due in part to the Brewers' losing streak.

Fielder exchanged words and twice shoved Manny Parra after the pitcher was removed for a pinch-hitter in the seventh inning of a 6-3 loss to the Cincinnati Reds on Monday night.

Prince Fielder isn't mashing, but the Brewers are climbing. Huh? Milwaukee continues to rise in Aram Tolegian's Power Rankings.
