Brayan Bello delivered seven scoreless innings, allowing three hits, one walk and striking out five to lead Boston to a 1-0 victory that clinched the season series versus New York 7-1. Bello earned his 10th win and has produced 12 quality starts in his last 14 outings. Through 10 career starts against the Yankees, Bello owns a 1.95 ERA in 60 innings. Garrett Whitlock and Aroldis Chapman combined to finish the shutout. Connor Wong, batting ninth, was part of the lineup. The win improved the Red Sox to 70-59, and manager Alex Cora compared Bello’s regular dominance to Garrett Crochet.
"Felt pretty good today," Bello said through a translator postgame. "Felt like I was commanding my pitches pretty good today. So yeah, pretty good outing for me today."
"He threw strikes, was efficient, got ahead, stayed ahead. I even thought about him going out in the eighth, but then I hesitated," Cora told reporters after the game. "Our two guys (Garrett Whitlock and Aroldis Chapman) are really good at what they do. He did more than enough. Every pitch counted tonight, and I'm glad that he had a great one."
"Now, every five days, he feels like Crochet," Cora said. "Like, it's Brayan's night and we're gonna be OK."
