Brayan Bello didn’t need to be too sharp against the Yankees on Friday after the Red Sox jumped out to a 7-0 lead in the second inning, but the promising righty got back on track.
The 24-year-old gave up just one run on six hits, one walk, and four strikeouts over six innings pitched in the Red Sox’ 8-3 win over the Yankees.
Bello’s performance was certainly a positive sign considering some struggles he’s had of late. He gave up four runs on nine hits in 4 2/3 innings in his previous start against the Tigers last Saturday, which was the third time in five starts following the All-Star break that he’d given up at least four runs.
