Red Sox News
Brayan Bello is finally looking like the pitcher the Red Sox envisioned, thriving after Jovani Morán opened for him in the series sweep against the Tigers, which concluded in a 10-3 victory. Meanwhile, Willson Contreras continues to inject energy into a lineup that needs it, boasting a .270 average and coming up clutch at key moments. However, the team is still feeling the sting of injuries, with Roman Anthony sidelined by a wrist issue, creating uncertainty in the batting order. As the Sox try to build momentum, they find themselves at 15-21, with a lackluster offense contributing just 3.3 runs per game this week. The pitching has improved, but consistency is key, they can't rely on a few good games to turn the tide. With a series against the Tigers on deck, the Red Sox need to keep their foot on the gas to shake off this lukewarm start.
