While the Boston Red Sox lost yesterday in brutal fashion, 2-1 to the Philadelphia Phillies in Fenway, they did learn something pretty important. Brayan Bello, their No. 4 pitcher in the rotation, might be getting his mojo back.
Starting the season, Bello was one of, if not the worst pitcher in all of baseball. His confidence was shattered, and his spot in the rotation was definitely in question.
However, after two starts where he came in after an opener, it seems Bello might be able to reclaim his position in the rotation, at least for now.
Brayan Bello's recent improvement is attributed to coming in after an opener during his last two starts, which seems to have boosted his confidence.
Earlier in the season, Brayan Bello was one of the worst pitchers in baseball, struggling significantly and facing questions about his place in the rotation.

Before Bello's last two starts, he was a walking disaster, to say the least. In six starts, posted a 1-4 record, a 9.12 ERA, 17 Ks, and a WHIP of 2.260 over 25 innings pitched. He also was leading the MLB in earned runs as well.
At one point, it was definitely almost a done deal replacing Bello with a guy like Payton Tolle. Even though it would make the starting rotation four lefties and one righty, Bello was just that bad.

That disaster class led the Sox to rely on an opener to help Bello work his way back. In two âstartsâ after coming in in the second inning, Bello has actually pitched really well.
Now, in eight games, Bello has dropped his ERA to 6.46, and posted a record of 2-4, along with 29 Ks, and a WHIP of 1.744. Also, in the past two games, he has an ERA of 1.35, a BAA of .170, an 8.1 K/9, and a 1.77 FIP.

If Bello can continue at this clip, he can keep his spot in the rotation. Hopefully, at one point he wonât need an opener, and can become the pitcher he was last season.
If Bello and the Soxâ rotation can truly lock in, then they might have a chance at turning their season around.
