The Boston Red Sox haven't had the greatest start to the 2026 MLB season. The team fired what seemed like everyone in house, including manager Alex Cora and five other coaches after starting the year with a 10-17 record.
Frustration has been building in the clubhouse. Despite many fans believing the Red Sox would compete for an AL East crown this year, the team has floundered, ranking outside the top 20 in team runs, home runs and OPS, while ranking exactly 20th in team strikeouts and ERA.
Starting pitcher Brayan Bello has struggled in particular, amounting a 9.00 ERA in 22 innings pitched prior to Wednesday's start against the Toronto Blue Jays. Then, he surrendered three earned runs (four before the inning was over) in just 3.2 innings pitched and only recorded two strikeouts. He was struggling, and interim manager Chad Tracy gave Bello the hook after just 63 pitches.
Bello was clearly unhappy.
Greg Weissert replaced Bello and immediately surrendered a two-run shot. The Blue Jays would end up winning, 8-1.
Was this the shortest start of Brayan Bello's career?
No. Bello has had four outings where he threw fewer than 63 pitches. That said, only one of those outings saw Bello start the game: June 25, 2024 against (ironically) the Blue Jays. Bello pitched just 2.1 innings and was pulled after 52 pitches. He surrendered five hits and seven earned runs before being pulled.
