Red Sox's Brayan Bello: Goes seven scoreless for 10th win
Rotowire
Bello (10-6) earned the win against the Yankees on Friday, allowing three hits and one walk while striking out five over seven scoreless innings.
Bello managed just seven whiffs on 92 pitches but limited hard contact and outlasted Max Fried to notch his fourth win in his past five outings. Over that stretch, the 26-year-old has logged four quality starts, allowing only three earned runs across his victories while being tagged for five in his lone loss. He'll carry a 3.07 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 102:46 K:BB through 135 innings into a road matchup with the Orioles next week.

Rotowire
Bello (9-6) earned the win against the Marlins on Saturday, allowing two runs on four hits and no walks with two strikeouts over 6.1 innings.
Bello was extremely efficient, throwing 52 of 78 pitches for strikes while limiting damage despite giving up 10 hard-hit balls. It was a solid rebound after surrendering five runs to San Diego last Sunday, and the 26-year-old has now gone at least five innings in 14 straight starts dating back to June 3. He'll take a 3.23 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 97:45 K:BB over 128 innings into a road matchup with the Yankees next weekend.
Bello (8-6) took the loss Sunday against San Diego, allowing five runs on six hits and three walks across 5.2 innings. He struck out seven.
Bello allowed more than three earned runs for the first time in 15 starts. The 26-year-old surrendered only six hits, but they often came in bunches, resulting in a handful of runs. On the bright side, Sunday's start was Bello's first with more than five strikeouts since July 8. On the year, Bello has a 3.25 ERA and a 95:45 K:BB across 121.2 innings. Bello is tentatively scheduled to face the Marlins in his next start.
Red Sox's Brayan Bello: Strong again in eighth win
Rotowire
Bello (8-5) earned the win against the Royals on Monday, allowing one unearned run on six hits and one walk with five strikeouts over six innings.
Bello allowed a run after an error opened the fourth inning but was otherwise strong, throwing 68 of 102 pitches for strikes and working five scoreless frames. The 26-year-old has delivered 10 quality starts in his past 11 outings and has allowed more than three earned runs just once in 20 appearances (19 starts) this season. He'll take a 3.03 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 88:42 K:BB across 116 innings into a road matchup with the Padres this weekend.
Bello (7-5) picked up the win in Wednesday's 13-1 rout of the Twins, allowing one run on five hits and four walks over seven innings. He struck out four.
While his control wasn't particularly sharp, the only real blemish on Bello's line was a solo shot by Matt Wallner in the second inning. The right-hander fired his fourth quality start in his last five trips to the mound, and he hasn't been tagged for more than three earned runs since May 18, posting a 2.83 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 54:19 K:BB over 70 innings since the beginning of June. Bello will look to keep rolling in his next outing, which lines up to come at home early next week against the Royals.
Bello (6-5) took the loss Friday as the Red Sox fell 5-2 to the Dodgers, giving up three runs on six hits and two walks over 5.1 innings. He struck out five.
The right-hander didn't get much run support, but Bello didn't help his own cause in a shaky third inning that included a bases-loaded walk to Teoscar Hernandez after three straight singles. The outing snapped Bello's quality start streak at three, and it's only the second time in 10 trips to the mound since the beginning of June that he hasn't lasted six innings, a stretch in which he's delivered a 3.00 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 50:15 K:BB over 63 innings. Bello will look for a better result in his next start, which lines up to come on the road next week in Minnesota.
Bello (6-4) took the loss Saturday, allowing three runs on six hits and one walk over six innings in a 6-0 loss to the Cubs. He struck out four.
The right-hander delivered his eighth quality start in his past nine outings Saturday, despite surrendering first-inning homers to Michael Busch and Kyle Tucker. Bello has put together a strong 2025 campaign, posting a 3.23 ERA and 1.27 WHIP over 97.2 innings across 17 appearances (16 starts).
Red Sox's Brayan Bello: Continues excellent form Sunday
Rotowire
Bello (6-3) earned the win in Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, yielding one run on six hits and no walks over 6.1 innings. He struck out five.
The only blemish on the Boston right-hander's performance came on a Josh Lowe sacrifice fly in the fourth inning, as he scattered one double and five singles. With this 105-pitch effort, during which he fired 73 strikes, Bello extended his recent stretch of solid pitching performances. Dating back to May 23, the 26-year-old has allowed fewer than three earned runs in 10 starts, a stretch where he's tallied seven quality starts and pitched to a 2.69 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 50:15 K:BB across 60.1 frames. Through 92.1 total innings, Bello sports a 3.14 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 70:34 K:BB.
Bello (5-3) allowed two runs on five hits and a walk over nine innings Tuesday, striking out 10 and earning a win over Colorado.
Bello was outstanding Tuesday, carrying a shutout into the ninth inning before Hunter Goodman belted a two-run shot. It was the first nine-inning complete game of Bello's career, and he completed it with an efficient 76 strikes on 107 total pitches. He forced 15 whiffs, including six with his sweeper, and produced his first double-digit strikeout performance since July 2024. Bello has registered a 2.83 ERA over his last nine starts and will carry a 3.27 ERA and a 65:34 K:BB into his next outing, which is lined up for this weekend at home against the Rays.
Red Sox's Brayan Bello: Nabs win in suspended game
Rotowire
Bello (4-3) allowed two earned runs on one hit and one walk over five innings out of the bullpen and scooped up a win in the Red Sox's 5-3 victory over the Reds on Wednesday in the continuation of a game that was suspended Tuesday. He struck out three batters in the 62-pitch appearance.
Rather than having Bello start the regularly scheduled game for Wednesday, the Red Sox had the right-hander take the hill in the top of the fourth inning for the suspended game from Tuesday. Making what was his first relief appearance since 2022, Bello entered the contest with the Red Sox up 2-1, but Boston quickly fell behind after he served up a one-out, two-run home run to Spencer Steer in the fourth. Bello buckled down thereafter, however, retiring 13 of the final 15 batters he faced and inducing inning-ending double plays in the seventh and eighth. The Red Sox were able to plate the tie-breaking run in the bottom of the eighth to put Bello in line for the win before closer Aroldis Chapman finished out the contest with a scoreless ninth. Bello will return to a traditional starting role for his next appearance, which is expected to come during next week's series with the Rockies at Fenway Park.

Red Sox's Brayan Bello: Pitching in suspended game
Rotowire
Bello is scheduled to take the hill Wednesday when the Red Sox and Reds resume their game from Tuesday that was suspended in the top of the fourth inning, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.
Bello had been lined up to start the regularly scheduled game at 7:10 p.m. ET, but he'll instead pitch in the suspended game in what will mark his first appearance as a reliever since 2022. Because the game will resume in the fourth inning, Bello's workload will likely be more suppressed compared to a typical start, but he'll have an inside track at scooping up a win since he'll be taking the hill with the Red Sox holding a 2-1 lead. Bello has picked up just one win over his last 11 starts.
