Brayan Bello delivered seven scoreless innings in a 1-0 win over the Yankees, allowing three hits, one walk and striking out five while preventing any runner from reaching scoring position. He improved to 10-6 with a 3.07 ERA, the eighth-best mark in the American League. Bello has a 2.75 ERA since June 1, the 10th-best in baseball, and has recorded 12 quality starts since June. He has pitched at least six innings in all but two of his last 14 starts after earlier shorter outings. Manager Alex Cora praised Bello's growth and consistency.
After a few years in the majors, Brayan Bello is fulfilling his promise as a top-of-the-rotation starter for the Red Sox. In fact, he might be pitching better than that. Bello pitched seven scoreless innings in the Red Sox' 1-0 win over the Yankees on Friday. He allowed just three hits and one walk, striking the Yankees out five times as he didn't allow a runner to get into scoring position all night.
As outings like Friday's have slowly become the norm for Bello as of late, Red Sox manager Alex Cora dished out some high praise for the 26-year-old righty. "He started behind. He wasn't ready in spring training, was able to build up a little bit. Threw the ball OK, but he wasn't efficient," Cora told reporters. "He got better. Now, every five days, it feels like [Garrett] Crochet. It's Brayan's night and we're gonna be OK."
2.75: Bello has recorded a 2.75 ERA since June 1, which is the 10th-best mark in all of baseball. 12: As Bello hasn't given up many runs recently, he's also been a reliable arm for the Red Sox in terms of workload. Combine the two and Bello has posted 12 quality starts (at least six innings pitched, allowing three or fewer earned runs) since the start of June.
