MILWAUKEE — Josh Bell and Gregory Polanco homered off Brandon Woodruff and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Milwaukee Brewers 5-1. 

Bell broke a 1-all tie in the fourth with a towering, two-run blast that hit an SUV parked well above the wall in right-center as part of a promotion. 

The Pirates stayed in front the rest of the way to hand Woodruff a rare loss at Miller Park. 

The right-hander entered Sunday having gone 10-0 with a 2.89 ERA in 16 home starts over the past two seasons. 

He struck out seven but allowed four runs, four hits and three walks in five innings.
