Bell tried to lose this game.

7 straight. Never thought that I'd say that with this team but I think we're seeing the impact of the return of TJ Friedl. 3 of the 4 RBI today and steady CF play. 

He used Cruz as well, who was one of the pitchers who gave up a run despite being our best reliever. Diaz was used two days in a row, so he wasn't available, and Martinez has pitched 3 innings in the last 3 days, including 1 last night.

I personally would have used either Suter or Moll. I just don't trust Sims or Wilson. Or Farmer, for that matter. Pagan was just coming off the IL, so Bell probably saw this as an opportunity to get him stretched out. 

Bell manages his bullpen very strangely.
