"The Red Sox have Jovani Moran opening for Brayan Bello, they're down both Roman Anthony and Willson Contreras in the lineup (although Contreras did avoid the IL today after getting hit in the hand with a pitch on Sunday), and Mickey Gasper batting second. They're also facing Zack Wheeler, who has a 3.12 ERA and has been the second best starter all year for the Phillies."
"But then again, the Red Sox were facing almost this exact same predicament last Tuesday when they were on the road in Detroit. They had Moran opening for Bello, were missing Roman Anthony from the lineup, and were facing the Tigers' second best starter in Framber Valdez. But because baseball is baseball, they won that game going away 10-3."
"Will something like that happen again tonight? And if it does, does Brayan Bello start to earn some trust tokens back in his quest to stay in the rotation? We'll all find out together over the next few hours."
Boston opens with Jovani Moran for Brayan Bello while Roman Anthony and Willson Contreras are missing from the lineup. Contreras avoided the IL after being hit in the hand by a pitch on Sunday. Mickey Gasper bats second. Boston faces Zack Wheeler, who has a 3.12 ERA and has been the Phillies’ second-best starter. The Red Sox previously faced a similar situation on the road in Detroit, with Moran opening for Bello, Roman Anthony missing, and Framber Valdez starting for the Tigers. Boston won that game 10-3. The outcome of the current matchup will determine whether Bello can regain trust and remain in the rotation.
