Josh Bell got a night off on Saturday, after the 28-year-old, switch-hitting slugger collected hits in five straight games (over which he was 7 for 15), with home runs in three in a row.
Friday night, after homering in the third straight game, (and for the fourth time overall in this spring’s Grapefruit League action), Bell, (whose 2 for 3 night at the plate left him with a solid .357/.424/.929 line in 12 games), talked about the work he’s done in Spring Training to get to where he is at the plate right now.
