Brayan Bello Gives Up 8 Runs in 5 Innings as Red Sox Fall 8-2 to Orioles

Summary
Six first-inning runs put Boston in an immediate hole, and Brayan Bello finished with eight runs allowed over five innings in an 8-2 loss to Baltimore.
40 first-inning pitches told the story: Bello faced 12 batters, walked three, hit one and repeatedly fell behind before Orioles hitters punished early-count mistakes.
Bello then retired 10 straight and completed five innings, but the outing deepened a stark split—he owns a 16.88 first-inning ERA and a 10.35 ERA in eight starts versus 0.74 in four bulk-relief appearances.
Trevor Rogers kept Boston quiet on the other side, retiring his first 11 batters and carrying a no-hitter into the fifth before allowing one run over 5 2/3 innings.
The loss dropped the Red Sox to 26-35 and cost them a chance at only their second Fenway Park series win this season before a weekend trip to the Bronx.
