Josh Bell hit a pair of home runs against his former team as Arizona swept a doubleheader against Cleveland.
CLEVELAND, Ohio — Josh Bell hit four home runs in 50 games at Progressive Field last year before the Guardians dealt him to Miami at the trade deadline. Bell hit half that many Wednesday for Arizona in game two of a doubleheader, as the Diamondbacks sent Cleveland to its fifth straight defeat with a 5-3 loss.
David Bell and José Ramírez homered for Cleveland, but the Guardians failed to capitalize on scoring chances in the seventh and eighth innings against the Diamondbacks’ bullpen. They suffered their first home series sweep of at least three games this season. Thomas, who had a pair of hits in the first game of the homestand against Baltimore, snapped an 0-for-21 skid with a base hit to open the eighth.
Rodriguez scattered four hits and allowed three runs with a strikeout and two walks. After a one-out walk by Josh Naylor in the fourth, Rodriguez allowed a base hit to Noel and an RBI sacrifice fly by Angel Martinez that allowed Naylor to tag and score from third.: The Guardians are off Thursday before opening a four-game weekend series in Minnesota against the Twins with a split doubleheader Friday. Right-hander Alex Cobb will start one of the two games on Friday.
