The Boston Red Sox faced another pitching debacle, with Brayan Bello allowing seven earned runs in a loss to the Atlanta Braves. Manager Alex Cora called for an overall improvement from the pitching staff, which currently ranks 24th in the majors with a combined ERA of 4.45. With various pitchers struggling, including Tanner Houck and Lucas Giolito, the team may seek additional support for the rotation unless they see progress from emerging players. As the season unfolds, pressure mounts amid disappointing performance.
"They need to step up," Cora said. "That's the bottom line. We have to step up as a rotation. It's not only Garrett, it's everybody. We have to do a better job as a group."
Despite heading into the season feeling confident about their pitching depth, the Red Sox could be in the market for rotation support this summer.
