Not sure why not, except that they knew that Cabrera was only going to
be here short term and didn't want Bowden to go back and forth. Plus
they want Bowden to get more experience as a reliever, in different
situations.

@Gnork: Good point...though of course Embree's expense-paid vacation

@Gary: Well, hopefully those two extra days (and one extra inning) of
relief experience will make the difference for Bowden.
