BOSTON — It’s looking like Brayan Bello is on the verge of enjoying a long and successful MLB career, and the way he’s pitched against the New York Yankees so far, that’s bad news for the folks in the Bronx.
For the second straight weekend on Sunday Night Baseball, the 24-year-old shut down the Yankees to lead the Red Sox to a huge series win. Bello once again threw seven innings, this time allowing just one run while striking out eight in Boston’s 4-1 win.
The Red Sox also won the first game of Sunday’s day-night doubleheader 6-2, and by sweeping the Yankees the club also moved to within 2.5 games of the final American League Wild Card spot.
