Fielder's fourth homer of the season came with one out off Rocky Cherry (0-1), who started the inning for his big league debut.
That's not all the damage Fielder caused. Brewers catcher Johnny Estrada left in the seventh with a bruised left knee after colliding with the 262-pound first baseman on a Felix Pie bunt.
The last-place Cubbies got a less-than-decent outing from Carlos Zambrano, who pitched 5.1 innings while allowing 2 runs on 5 hits, walking three batters and striking out seven.
Big Z sat down with a 4-2 lead before Fielder homered off Scott Eyre to lead off the eighth. The Brew Crew tied it up when Damian Miller walked with one out, and Geoff Jenkins and Craig Counsell singled.
Carlos Villanueva (1-0) pitched four scoreless innings along with Milwaukee's bullpen, who allowed five hits in eight scoreless innings with Derrek Turnbow recording his first save of the season.

I thought your Twinkies were supposed to show the Tribe who's who yesterday?
Yeah. They kinda did. They tied it up in dramatic Casilla fashion... and lost it in pathetic Silva fashion.
