The Sox, who had won two in a row and four of their last five, would certainly benefit if Brayan Bello can go deep into Tuesday‘s game. He didn’t give up a run in his most recent start against the Rangers on Thursday, but he went just 4⅔ innings as he issued five walks during an 83-pitch outing.

It was a night to forget for Red Sox pitcher Tanner Houck, who turned in one of the worst performances by any starter in MLB so far this season in Monday’s blowout loss to the Tigers.
