Davey Martinez said before today’s game that he liked Josh Bell’s swings last night, and his career numbers against Adam Wainwright (7 for 23, .304/.393/.478, with a double and HR), so he gave Bell the start after running Ryan Zimmerman out there against Wainwright last week in St. Louis. Bell homered off the Cardinals’ veteran starter in the bottom of the sixth, 1-0, but Martinez went to the pen after six scoreless on 76 pitches from Patrick Corbin, and they gave up the lead in the top of the seventh, with a leadoff walk coming around to score the tying run on RBI triple before a sac fly put the visiting team on top, 2-1.
