They have dropped 11 of their past 17 games. Boston is just 12-11 at Fenway Park, losing four of their seven series here. They have dropped series at home to Toronto, Seattle, Minnesota and Atlanta. They have won series here against the St. Louis, the White Sox and Texas.<\/p>\n<p id=\"DSK6ETEQR5GVFFTWJZKHLCQEW4\"><b>2)<\/b> Brayan Bello entered with a 2.33 ERA in five starts but he had a much higher FIP (5.54) and expected ERA (5.17). It all caught up to him Sunday. He gave up seven runs, 10 hits and five walks while striking out just three in 4 \u2153 innings. He threw only 56.5% strikes (92 pitches, 52 strikes).<\/p>\n<p id=\"SJL47BCFPBB27AJKQYQOCMUZGU\"><b>3)<\/b> Manager Alex Cora had nobody warming in the Red Sox bullpen until Bello fell behind Michael Harris Jr. 2-0 in the count in the fifth with the bases loaded (on two walks and a single) and no outs. Lefty Sean Newcomb finally got up but he didn\u2019t enter the game until after Bello walked Harris on four pitches to force in the go-ahead run (5-4), then gave up an RBI single to Eli White and an RBI sac fly to Nick Allen. Atlanta went ahead 7-4.<\/p>\n<p id=\"UG6YEUXLCNEARCGVCYJUJLGWQI\"><b>4)<\/b> It looked like Bello was going to post a shutdown inning in the fourth after Rafael Devers\u2019 grand slam in the bottom of the third inning erased a 3-0 deficit and put Boston ahead 4-0. Bello retired the first two hitters in the fourth inning on four pitches. But he then gave up three straight singles and the Braves tied it 4-4.<\/p>\n<p id=\"JU67WPB3RRGPLJLUV2V5T2OCPM\"><b>5)<\/b> The Red Sox continue to fall behind early in games. Brayan Bello gave up two runs on three singles and a walk before Boston even took its first at-bat. The Red Sox then fell behind 3-0 in the top of the third inning.<\/p>\n<p id=\"AP4GN5FWIRFSTJ5IK5CWY654OY\"><b>6)<\/b> Rafael Devers\u2019 grand slam in the third inning was Boston\u2019s first grand slam since Aug. 19, 2023 when Luis Urias hit one on back-to-back days. He crushed it 442 feet to center field and it left his bat at 108.3 mph. Devers \u2014 who belted a walkoff homer Saturday \u2014 is on fire. He has gone 15-for-35 (.429) with three home runs, three doubles and 13 RBIs since principal owner John Henry flew to Kansas City for a meeting with him last Friday.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3S4Q4KFJUZEATAY66D6SPWLSDY\"><b>7)<\/b> The Red Sox had just four hits in the final six innings after scoring four runs in the third.<\/p>\n<p id=\"BXGY7IGTQ5EH5OZ45EFD347QCU\"><b>8)<\/b> The Red Sox will open a three-game series against the Mets on Monday. Cora will skip the game to attend his daughter\u2019s Boston College graduation. Righty Hunter Dobbins (2-1, 3.90 ERA) will start for Boston opposite right-hander Kodai Senga (4-2, 1.02 ERA).<\/p>\n<section data-gaid=\":R3eiq6:\">\n<ul data-testid=\"list\">\n<li>Mookie Betts, Chris Sale reflect on historic 2018 Red Sox season<\/li>\n<li>Rafael Devers hits Red Sox\u2019 first grand slam since 2023<\/li>\n<li>Red Sox closer paying tribute to late Luis Tiant with unique entrance video at Fenway<\/li>\n<li>Why Boston Red Sox\u2019 Alex Cora won\u2019t manage Monday, \u2018a very special day\u2019<\/li>\n<li>Are Red Sox clearing path for Marcelo Mayer promotion with Kristian Campbell taking reps at first base?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
