Orioles minor league third baseman Josh Bell was hitless in three at-bats for Phoenix. The 22-year-old infielder flied out twice and grounded into a double play.

Bell is hitting .368 with one home run and nine RBIs in 10 games in Arizona.

Former Orioles starting pitcher Adam Loewen was 1-for-3 with a strikeout for the Desert Dogs. He played left field in the game.

The 25-year-old outfielder is hitting .171 with 17 strikeouts in 10 games for Phoenix. Four of his six hits came in one game against Scottsdale on Oct. 15.

None of the other Orioles minor leaguers appeared in today's game.
