Brayan Bello leads Boston Red Sox to fifth consecutive win

Brayan Bello returned to the starting rotation for the Boston Red Sox, pitching five scoreless innings with seven strikeouts to help secure a 5-2 victory over the Los Angeles Angels at Fenway Park. The win marks Boston's fifth consecutive victory, bringing their season record to 80-65 and placing them within two games of the American League Wild Card race.

Bello's performance marks a significant turnaround following a difficult start to the 2026 season. After being moved to the bullpen to stabilize his performance, he maintained a 0.85 ERA over 11 games as a long reliever before returning to his role as a starter.
