Brayan Bello continues to be a beast.
Was it his sharpest outing? Not at all. Tossing over forty pitches in his first two innings had me royally concerned. To recover the way he did, get through seven frames with 107 pitches, that’s ace material, as far as I’m concerned. The NESN broadcast did a lot of talking about Bello’s growth and what comes next, and tonight’s game is the perfect example of where he goes next. Did David Hamilton’s bobbles in the second inning add another few pitches to Bello’s box score? Yeah, it definitely did. However, Bello adjusted as he went through the game, forcing outs quicker and quicker to get himself as far as he did.
