Brayan Bello’s big night: The Red Sox stayed in the playoff race on Wednesday night with a 3-0 win over the Blue Jays. The game was highlighted by a masterful pitching performance from both Boston starter Brayan Bello and closer Kenley Jansen.
Bello, 25, was particularly dominant, tossing eight scoreless innings with nine strikeouts (yielding just one hit). After an inconsistent season — Bello is 12-6 with a 4.66 ERA — the talented right-hander was on point against Toronto.
After the game, Boston manager Alex Cora was full of praise for Bello.
