Red Sox's Brayan Bello: Coughs up two in brief start
Rotowire
Bello didn't factor into the decision during Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Yankees, giving up two earned runs on four hits and a walk over 2.1 innings. He failed to record a strikeout.
Bello put himself in a hole early by giving up a two-run homer to Ben Rice in the first inning. The 26-year-old righty picked up the next four outs with relatively little trouble while Boston's offense tied the game, but after allowing two men to reach with one out in the third, he got the hook after only 28 pitches. Because his appearance was so short, Bello may be available to take the mound again early in the ALDS, though the Red Sox will first need to leave Yankee Stadium with a win in Game 3.
Bello (11-9) took the loss Thursday against the Blue Jays, allowing three runs (two earned) on three hits and three walks while striking out three over five-plus innings.
Bello was great through the first five innings, finding little trouble outside of a bases-loaded jam in the third, but his outing fell apart in the sixth. An error, a walk and a hit-by-pitch loaded the bases and forced the right-hander's exit, with Daulton Varsho then immediately delivering a grand slam off Justin Wilson. With little run support behind him, Bello was handed his third consecutive loss. The 26-year-old has completed six innings just once in his last five outings, posting a 5.40 ERA during that span, and assuming he doesn't pitch again during the regular season, he'll finish with a 3.35 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 124:59 K:BB across 166.2 innings.
Red Sox's Brayan Bello: Struggles to provide length in loss
Rotowire
Bello (11-8) was charged with the loss Thursday against the Athletics, allowing four runs (three earned) on five hits and two walks in four innings. He struck out three.
It was the first time Bello was unable fire at least five innings since way back on May 28, and the 70 pitches represented his second-lowest total of the season. The month of September hasn't been kind so far for the right-hander, who has a 5.85 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 13:9 K:BB across his last 20 innings. Bello will be aiming to right the ship in what may be his final appearance of the regular season next week in Toronto, where he'll bring a career-best 3.34 ERA and 1.24 WHIP to go with a 121:56 K:BB over 161.2 frames.

He was in line for the win when the Red Sox took the lead in the top of the seventh, but the bullpen wasn't able to keep that lead. Bello is now at a 3.12 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 114:51 K:BB through 152.2 innings over 26 appearances (25 starts). The 26-year-old's next start is expected to be at home versus the Yankees.
