Boston lost 4-3 to the Cleveland Guardians after Tyler Samaniego allowed all four Cleveland runs in the first inning. Brayan Bello then pitched seven scoreless innings, allowing no runs or walks and striking out five. Bello has been used in a bulk role in four of his last five scheduled outings. As a starter this season, he has a 9.68 ERA, .370 opponent batting average, 18 strikeouts, 18 walks, and 10 home runs in 30.2 innings. In the new role, he has a 0.71 ERA with 22 strikeouts and three walks across 25.1 innings, while the opener before him has struggled. Interim manager Chad Tracy said it is impossible to make sense of Bello’s season but praised his swagger and strike-throwing comfort.
"In 30.2 innings as a starter this season, Bello owns a 9.68 ERA with a .370 opponent batting average, 18 strikeouts and walks each, and 10 home runs."
"Bello, who has pitched the bulk role in four of his last five scheduled outings, was nails in the next seven innings. He didn't allow a single run or walk and struck out five."
