The Boston Red Sox needed the version of Brayan Bello they paid him to be with an early extension during the offseason.
Bello struggled through the month of June with control issues and a slew of baserunners. The right-hander had extra rest before his first start of July against the Miami Marlins and showed up in a 7-2 win for the Red Sox.
“He did a good job,” Alex Cora told reporters, as seen on NESN’s postgame coverage.
