After Rafael Devers hit a walk-off home run, the Red Sox faced the Braves but failed to capitalize on the momentum. The pitching performance, particularly by Brayan Bello, was subpar, as he allowed ten hits and five walks over 4.1 innings. Devers' grand slam provided the only runs for the team, while the Braves scored consistently against Bello and Newcomb. The analysis emphasizes that while one significant play like Devers' home run can spark hope, the team's overall performance, especially pitching, needs to improve significantly to compete effectively.
The Red Sox need more out of Brayan Bello. While some of the hits he allowed were unfortunate, broken bats and soft contact that found grass, five walks are too many.
To think that one swing would change the season as a whole would be foolish, but it did win the game and give the Red Sox a chance to take a series off a good team.
Bello allowed ten hits and five walks. After Rafael Devers hit the first grand slam in over a year, it looked like Bello had found a groove.
The pitching was, simply put, bad. Over 4.1 innings of work, Bello allowed ten hits and five walks, with no competitive pitches in between.
