Marlins closer Heath Bell has had a tenuous hold on the closer's role in Miami, given his struggles this season, and on Wednesday in San Francisco he was finally taken out, after coming in with a 2-0 lead and giving up three hits and a run without recording an out. He was pulled in favor of Steve Cishek, who allowed a bunt single to score the tying run, which was charged to Bell, before finishing the inning. Bell technically did not pick up the blown save, which would have been his fourth in seven opportunities, however he cost the Marlins another chance to win a game.
