Red Sox know that Brayan Bello will pitch Saturday; in what capacity is unclear
Brayan Bello's turn comes up Saturday, but the Red Sox haven't decided how to utilize him.
BOSTON — Brayan Bello will take the mound Saturday for the Red Sox in the middle game of their three-game series with the Minnesota Twins. Beyond that, the specifics are unclear. It’s Bello’s turn to pitch, but in what role has to be determined.
“We’re still going to talk about it,” said interim manager Chad Tracy. “We’re still going to talk about whether we’re going to use an opener or not. ” Bello has been rocked often this season, with a 7.
16 ERA and a WHIP of 1. 795. In two of his previous three starts, the Red Sox used Jovani Moran as an opener, and Bello responded with two superb outings as the bulk pitcher to follow, allowing one earned run in seven innings the first time and one earned run over 6.
1 innings the second time. However, when his turn came last weekend in Atlanta, the Sox used Bello in a conventional starting role and he was clubbed for seven earned runs in five innings . Prior to the two bulk appearances, he was also hit hard, yielding four runs in 3.
