MILWAUKEE (AP) - Josh Bell hit a three-run homer to cap a five-run rally in the seventh inning that lifted the Miami Marlins to a 7-3 comeback victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday night.

Pinch-hitter Emmanuel Rivera opened the seventh with a triple. Vidal Brujan walked and Nick Fortes reached on a bunt single that pitcher Jared Koenig couldn't corral, scoring Rivera to tie it at 3.

Xavier Reynolds advanced the runners with a sacrifice, chasing Koenig (8-2), who had not allowed a run in his seven previous outings.

Bryan De La Cruz greeted reliever Elvis Peguero with an RBI single. Bell then jumped on the first pitch for his 14th homer.

Brian Hoeing (1-2) tossed three scoreless innings in relief for the victory.

Consecutive losses to Miami have saddled the NL Central-leading Brewers with their third consecutive home series loss after winning nine series in a row.

Rhys Hoskins put Milwaukee up 3-2 with a three-run homer in the fourth off starter Max Meyer, recalled earlier Saturday from Triple-A Jacksonville. Willy Adames reached on an infield single and Jake Bauers walked. Hoskins then sent an 0-1 pitch 386 feet to left-center for his 17th homer.
