ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., July 21 (UPI) -- Rob Bell had his best start of the season Monday, pitching into the eighth inning to lead Tampa Bay to a 3-2 victory over Anaheim.

Bell (2-2) allowed one run and six hits in 7 1/3 innings. The righthander had issued 17 walks in 29 1/3 innings but struck out four without one in this contest.

Making his seventh start for the Devil Rays, Bell blanked the Angels until the eighth inning, when Adam Kennedy and David Eckstein delivered back-to-back doubles. Al Levine came out of the bullpen and avoided further trouble.

All-Star Lance Carter failed to pick up his 17th save, allowing a sacrifice fly to Jeff Davanon in the ninth that got Anaheim within 3-2. Travis Harper retired Bengie Molina on a groundout for his second career save and first since June 14, 2002.
