SAN DIEGO, July 7 (UPI) -- San Diego closer Heath Bell has been added to the National League all-star team, replacing injured Milwaukee starting pitcher Yovani Gallardo.

Bell was picked by NL all-star Manager Charlie Manuel of Philadelphia, who also had selected Gallardo.

Bell is 4-0 with 23 saves and a 1.72 earned run average this season. The 32-year-old right-hander also made the all-star squad last year.

The all-star game will be July 13 in Anaheim, Calif.
