Brayan Bello of the Boston Red Sox delivered a stellar performance in his latest start against the Miami Marlins at loanDepot Park. Following a rough stretch in June, Bello rebounded with a dominant outing, pitching 6 2/3 innings, allowing just one run on seven hits while striking out seven. This performance, which came after being briefly removed from the rotation, showcased Bello’s resilience and determination to improve.
Key to Bello’s success was the re-introduction of a four-seam fastball, a pitch he had not thrown all season. This adjustment, along with working on mechanics and a new attack plan with pitching coach Andrew Bailey, helped Bello regain his confidence on the mound. The decision to bring back the four-seam fastball paid off as Bello controlled the game against the Marlins, displaying a confident demeanor and impressive stuff throughout.
Manager Alex Cora and Bailey praised Bello’s performance, highlighting his ability to bounce back from early struggles in the game and maintain composure. Moving forward, the Red Sox are optimistic that Bello will continue to build on this success and string together more quality outings. With a favorable schedule ahead, including a matchup against the Oakland Athletics, Bello has the opportunity to further solidify his spot in the rotation and contribute to the team’s success as they head into the All-Star break.
