Bell is tied for a pair of Pirate single month records. His 92 total bases in May have matched Ralph Kiner’s mark in June of 1947, and his 24 extra-base hits are only equaled by Paul Waner (June 1927, Aug. 1928).
Per Joe Block, Bell is just two extra-base hits shy of Ty Cobb’s record for the most XBH in the month of May (since 1913).
Bell is 3-13 with a home run in his career against Brewers starter Jhoulys Chacin (3-6, 4.88).
Chris Archer (1-5, 5.75) will try to get back on track after being tagged for 13 earned runs in 13.
