Pirates' Josh Bell: Homers in loss to Cubs
Bell homered, walked twice and scored two runs in a 1-for-2 game in Monday's extra-innings loss to the Cubs.
Analysis:
Bell is on fire since returning August 20, with a 7:2 BB:K and three extra-base hits in 10 games. Sean Rodriguez has done well this year, with a .252/.333/.486 batting line, but Bell has been too good for the Pirates to keep him out of the lineup. His season line is now up to an absurd .407/.541/.704.
