Red Sox Set Bello to Start in Detroit, May Use Opener

Interim manager Chad Tracy said the team might use an opener before Bello pitches the bulk of the game, depending on bullpen usage and the need for wins. mchezo.life

Bello, who has a 9.12 ERA and has only gone five innings in two of his first seven starts, is open to the plan and is preparing to start if called upon. Tracy highlighted the potential matchup advantage of an opener against the Tigers’ lineup and said Bello’s recent velocity spikes are encouraging.
