Red Sox Hope for Long Outing from Bello to Halt Angels’ Surge

Another game, another one-run loss. That’s now 16 of them for the Boston Red Sox, who nearly pulled off a wild comeback Monday after falling into a 6-0 first-inning hole. They’ll try again Tuesday night, looking to even the series against a surging Los Angeles Angels team.

Right-hander Brayan Bello (2-1, 3.83 ERA) is on the mound, but the Red Sox need more than just his arm. Bello hasn’t gone five full innings in his last five outings and remains winless since April 27.

“I felt like I had a little more in the tank,” Bello said after being pulled at 77 pitches in his last start, a no-decision vs. Milwaukee. He’s 1-2 with a 5.40 ERA in three starts against the Angels.

Manager Alex Cora remains optimistic: “We’re not far off… This team is growing, and our pitching staff will get better.”

Boston fans finally saw life from Jarren Duran, who snapped an 0-for-17 slump with three hits Monday. Now it’s up to the arms to follow.

Angels’ Bats Keep Blazing, Led by Trout and Adell

The Angels arrived in Fenway swinging, becoming the first visiting team ever to hit three first-inning homers at the park. Jo Adell went deep twice, and Mike Trout crushed a three-run bomb in a 7-6 win that extended their road hot streak to 9-2.

Trout is sizzling since his return from the IL, going 8-for-14 in four games, and on Monday he passed Tim Salmon for second-most hits in Angels history with No. 1,675. Despite hitting fifth or sixth, Trout’s still doing Trout things.

Starter Tyler Anderson gave up six runs, but the bullpen locked it down, preserving a narrow win.

Looking to start another streak, the Angels will hand the ball to Yusei Kikuchi (1-5, 3.06 ERA). While Kikuchi’s numbers vs. Boston (0-3, 5.97 ERA) aren’t flattering, he’s struck out 7 in each of his last three starts against the Sox.

In his last outing, Kikuchi went five innings vs. the Yankees, allowing one run in a tough 1-0 loss. He’s still chasing consistency beyond six innings.
