Red Sox begin 3-game series with the Angels
Brayan Bello is set for a traditional start as Boston looks to extend a four-game winning streak and adjusts Trevor Story and Wilyer Abreu in the order.
Boston Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy announced on Monday that Brayan Bello will start against the Los Angeles Angels at Fenway Park in a 1:35 p.m. matinee, marking his first traditional rotation spot since June.
Bello was optioned to Triple-A Worcester in June after a disastrous start against the Baltimore Orioles, where he allowed six runs in the first inning over 40 pitches before Boston's 8-2 loss.
Tracy stated, "It just feels like for us to be successful, we need Bello to start." Bello carries a 10.35 ERA as a starter versus a 2.03 ERA in relief, earning $6.2 million this season under his $55 million extension.
The 79-65 Red Sox seek to extend their four-game winning streak against the 54-89 Angels at Fenway Park, with Boston holding a significant record advantage entering the matchup.
Monday's game will test whether Bello can sustain a full rotation turn or if the Angels expose the same first-inning vulnerabilities that sent him to the minors three months ago.
