COMMENTARY
The Red Sox, having failed to do so thanks to the weather on Wednesday, will play their 81st game of the season on Friday against San Diego. I will resist the urge to go full-on half season review, and instead offer a few thoughts on a team still firmly in the mix.
The Bello bump
Brayan Bello’s June couldn’t have been much worse. He’ll finish it with an 8.25 ERA in five starts, with 14 walks in 24 innings and a .347/.437/.515 line against him.
He failed to complete the fifth inning in three outings, and though he did win at Rogers Centre last week, he followed with another meltdown, charged with seven runs in the third inning of a return engagement with the Blue Jays on Tuesday.
