Red Sox Name Bello Probable Starter, May Use Opener

Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy said Bello will take the mound in the opening game of the series, but may be preceded by an opener depending on bullpen usage. Tracy explained the idea could help neutralize Detroit’s left‑handed hitters and give Bello a better matchup. Bello, who has a 9.12 ERA and has rarely gone beyond the fifth inning, is open to the plan and eager to get back to form. mchezo.co.za
