Boston Red Sox Starter Hit Hard in Loss to Baltimore Orioles
The Boston Red Sox' nightmarish start continued on Friday night as they fell to 9-17 on the season, losing to the Baltimore Orioles 10-3 in the first game of a six-game road trip. It was a particularly rough outing for Boston starter Brayan Bello, who lasted just 3.1 innings.
The Baltimore offensive onslaught began nearly immediately, with Orioles leadoff hitter Gunnar Henderson taking the second pitch he saw 410 feet to right field to give the O's a 1-0 lead. It then became a full-blown barrage for the Orioles lineup as Taylor Ward reached on a single before Bello surrendered the second of three first-inning home runs -- this time to catcher Adley Rutschman -- a two-run shot to extend the Baltimore lead to 3-0 all before Bello recorded his first out.
After getting first baseman Pete Alonso to fly out to right, Bello allowed yet another home run, this time to left fielder Dylan Beavers, giving Baltimore an early 4-0 lead. Bello surrendered another extra-base hit, a double to designated hitter Samuel Basallo, before retiring the next two batters.
The Red Sox were able to make a dent into the four-run Baltimore lead thanks to a solo home run from Wilyer Abreu in the top of the second. But the Orioles continued to add on to their lead in the bottom half of the second inning when Rutschman grounded out to third, scoring Henderson to extend their lead back to four, 5-1.
