Marlins Rally Past Brewers with Late-Inning Heroics

MILWAUKEE (AP) — The Miami Marlins staged a dramatic comeback against the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday night, securing a 7-3 victory thanks to a five-run rally in the seventh inning. Josh Bell delivered the decisive blow with a three-run homer, marking his 14th of the season. The rally began with Vidal Bruján drawing a walk and Nick Fortes reaching base on a bunt single, allowing the Marlins to tie the game at 3. Bell's homer came on the first pitch he faced after pitcher Jared Koenig, who had been dominant in his previous outings, was chased from the game. The Brewers initially took the lead in the fourth inning when Rhys Hoskins hit a three-run homer, putting Milwaukee ahead 3-2. This came after Willy Adames reached on an infield single and Jake Bauers walked, setting the stage for Hoskins' 386-foot blast to left-center. Earlier in the game, the Marlins had taken a 2-0 lead in the second inning, driven by consecutive doubles from Jake Burger and Jesús Sánchez, followed by an RBI single from Jonah Bride. In relief, Brian Hoeing earned his first win of the season, pitching three scoreless innings. The game also saw roster changes, with Milwaukee recalling LHP Tyler Jay and acquiring RHP Nick Mears from Colorado. Meanwhile, Miami traded All-Star outfielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. to the New York Yankees in a deal that brought back several minor league players. Looking ahead, the series finale will feature Milwaukee's Tobias Myers against Miami's Kyle Tyler, as both teams aim to solidify their standings.
