Bello (13-7) picked up the win Monday against Baltimore, allowing two runs on three hits and five walks across 5.1 innings. He struck out five. Just 62 of Bello's 101 pitches found the strike zone Monday, and he tied his career high in walks. The right-hander was given an extra day of rest between starts, making an appearance against Baltimore on Monday instead of the lowly White Sox. Through 27 starts, Bello has a 4.70 ERA and a 140:58 K:BB across 147.1 innings. He's one of 12 pitchers to have 13 or more wins. Bello is tentatively scheduled to face the Yankees this weekend.

Manager Alex Cora said after Saturday's 7-5 win over the White Sox that Bello will make his next start in Monday's series opener against the Orioles, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports. Bello was slated to start in Sunday's series finale versus Chicago, but the decision was made to push him to Monday in order to give Tanner Houck additional rest on the heels of the latter pitcher's last outing Wednesday against the Mets. Cora added that a minor-league call-up could be utilized for Sunday's contest, with Richard Fitts being a leading candidate to move up from Triple-A Worcester. In his nine starts since the All-Star break, Bello has gone 2-2 with a 3.78 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 50:20 K:BB over 52.1 innings.

Bello (12-7) took the loss against the Mets on Monday, allowing four runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out four batters over five innings. Bello had been on a roll coming into Monday, notching three quality starts over his past four appearances and posting a 2.49 ERA during that span. He wasn't up to that level of performance against New York, as he allowed at least one run in each of the second, third and fourth innings and didn't retire the side in order until his fifth (and final) frame. Bello still managed to keep Boston in the game, and his next start is lined up to be a juicy matchup against the hapless White Sox this weekend.

Bello (11-6) took the loss Friday, giving up five runs on seven hits and four walks over 5.1 innings as the Red Sox were downed 12-2 by the Diamondbacks. He struck out two. Bello was tagged for five or more runs for the sixth time this season, ending a strong stretch that saw the right-hander post a 3.57 ERA and five quality starts in his prior seven outings. Bello had gone 10 straight starts without a loss before Friday, and he'll take a 4.95 ERA into his next start.

Bello (11-5) earned the win over Baltimore on Saturday, allowing one run on two hits and three walks while striking out six batters over six innings. Bello tossed five scoreless frames before serving up a game-tying solo homer to Gunnar Henderson in the sixth inning. That was the hurler's final frame, but Boston scored in the top of the seventh to move him in line for the victory. Bello has shown considerable improvement since the All-Star break, notching five quality starts across seven outings and posting a 3.57 ERA across 40.1 innings. The improvement in ERA is particularly promising after the right-hander recorded a 5.40 ERA over 83.1 frames during the first half of the season.
