CHICAGO (AP) — Pinch-hitter Josh Bell hit a three-run homer and the Washington Nationals rallied with five runs in the ninth inning off Cubs closer Daniel Palencia to stun Chicago 6-3 on Sunday.

Robert Hassell III led off with a homer to cut it to 3-2. Following an infield hit by CJ Abrams and walk to James Wood, Bell lofted the first pitch he saw to the basket in left-center for his 17th homer.

Daylen Lile tripled off Palencia and came home on Brady House's second sac fly of the game to complete the scoring. Lile finished with two hits.
