Bell's RBI single in 10th lifts Marlins to 3-2 win over Brewers

MIAMI (AP) — Josh Bell singled with the bases loaded in the 10th inning to give the Miami Marlins a 3-2 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Monday night.

Christian Bethancourt's sacrifice bunt against reliever Mitch White (1-1) advanced automatic runner Vidal Brujan to third. Jazz Chisholm Jr. was intentionally walked and stole second. Bryan De La Cruz drew an intentional walk before Bell hit a grounder to right field that scored Brujan.

Tanner Scott (4-4) allowed a leadoff walk to Christian Yelich in the top of the 10th. Joey Ortiz's sacrifice bunt advanced courtesy runner Brice Turang and Yelich before Scott struck out Willy Adames and retired Gary Sánchez on a flyout to medium center.

The NL Central-leading Brewers used seven relievers after starter Joe Ross left after the first inning because of a low back strain.

Yelich stole two bases, including his first career theft of home.

Miami tied it at 2-all on Otto López's RBI single off Trevor Megill in the ninth. Nick Gordon hit a two-out single, then stole second before López hit a bloop single to right.

Marlins starter Ryan Weathers kept Milwaukee hitless until Andruw Monasterio's solo shot with two outs in the fifth that broke a scoreless tie. The drive by Monasterio sailed above Miami center fielder Chisholm's leap at the wall.

Yelich drew a one-out walk against Weathers in the sixth, then stole second and advanced to third on catcher Nick Fortes' throwing error. During Adames' at-bat, Yelich gradually extended his lead before sprinting for the plate and beating Fortes' tag.

Gordon's RBI single in the seventh narrowed the deficit.

Weathers was lifted after seven innings of two-run ball. The left-hander gave up two hits, walked three and and struck out eight.

The Brewers recalled right-handed pitcher Bradley Blalock from Double-A Biloxi and designated right-hander reliever Thyago Vieira for assignment.
