Bell's RBI single in 10th lifts Marlins to 3
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 for Miami’s fifth walkoff win of the season.
“At first I was thinking get the ball in the air to the outfield,” Bell said. “But when I found myself with a two-strike at-bat, I was just trying to put the ball in play. I was fortunate enough to get it away from the infielders.”
After dropping to a season-low 21 games under .500 on May 13, the Marlins (16-33) have won five of their last six.
“It feels good. It feels like last year,” Bell said. “Hopefully, we can turn the ship around and play Marlins baseball. The vibes right now feel like last year.”
