Pittsburgh has won four of its last five.Bell is on a career-best 14-game hitting streak, and is batting .421 over that span with seven doubles, six home runs and 21 runs batted in, including the four he picked up Tuesday.“Just trying to sync up fastballs, get on a starter’s fastball and understanding how guys are going to attack me and sell out to an approach and just go from there,” Bell said. “It feels like I’m living in a dream a little bit.”Carson Kelly homered with two outs in the eighth and Adam Jones drove in David Peralta in the ninth to account for the Diamondbacks’ runs.Starling Marte scored the game’s first run in the top of the third, hustling home from third base on Bell’s fielder’s choice.Bell’s fourth-inning homer to straightaway center off Arizona starter Luke Weaver came with two out and Gregory Polanco on base.The only hit Musgrove (2-4) allowed was a fourth-inning single to Eduardo Escobar.

I couldn’t even play it cool. I tried to, but the 12-year-old in me came out and I was just smiling and cheesing and laughing Cheap MLB Baseball Jerseys ,” Tucker said. “Literally audibly laughing. I couldn’t have drawn it up any better.”Tucker homered in his major-league debut earlier this season, and his second homer came in his hometown.
