Red Sox Edge Orioles 5–4 Behind Bello’s Composed Outing

Boston, MA — The Boston Red Sox held off a late charge by the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday night, securing a 5–4 victory at Fenway Park to improve to 80–65 on the season. Right-hander Brayan Bello anchored the effort, scattering 11 hits and striking out eight over seven gritty innings to notch his 15th win of the year against 12 losses; Game Score 47.

Boston jumped out early, plating three runs in the first inning and adding another in the second. Catcher Kyle Teel provided the eventual game-winner, crushing a solo homer to left-center off Baltimore starter John Means in the fifth to extend Boston’s lead to 5–2. It was Teel’s 13th home run of the campaign and his second RBI of the night. The Orioles refused to go quietly. Cedric Mullins and Gunnar Henderson each went deep off Bello, while rookie Coby Mayo doubled home a pair of runs in the seventh to cut the deficit to one. But veteran closer Liam Hendriks locked it down in the ninth, working around a two-out double by Mayo to collect his 35th save in 38 chances.

Means (6–11) took the loss, yielding five runs—just two earned—on seven hits and four walks over four innings; Game Score 33. He was followed by a strong bullpen effort: José Cisnero and Tyler Wells combined for four scoreless frames to keep Baltimore within striking distance. For Boston, Marcelo Mayer reached base twice and swiped a pair of bags, while Ceddanne Rafaela added two doubles and a pair of hits in the victory. The win, coupled with Baltimore’s loss, nudged the Red Sox further ahead in the crowded American League Wild Card race.
