BOSTON — Where would the Red Sox be without Brayan Bello?
With the starting rotation decimated by injuries the 24-year-old righty has put the team on his back and given the Red Sox a chance to win every time he takes the mound. Wednesday was no exception as he delivered yet another gem to help Boston top the AL West-leading Texas Rangers, 4-2.
Though not as sharp as in some of his recent outings, Bello continued to show impressive poise as he worked his way out of a number of early jams unscathed. In the first inning he stranded a pair of runners after Texas got men on second and third with one out, and in the second he shook off a pair of should-have-been-errors that extended the inning and kept the Rangers off the board.
