Texas Rangers
Texas blew a five-run lead in the eighth inning Thursday night at Fenway Park and game one went to Boston, 9–8.
Jonathan Hernandez gave up four hits and four runs in the ninth inning while only recording one out. It was the first blown save of his young career (he has four career saves).
Rob Refsnyder got the walk-off hit with a bases-loaded line drive down the left field line.
Enrique Hernandez tied the game with a single to right and before that Rafael Devers got the Sox within two with a two-run single. Devers scored the winning run on Refsnyder’s hit.
Devers also got a key hit in the eighth off of Matt Moore, a double to score Xander Bogaerts. He would then come around to cut the lead to three later in the inning.
The double to the deepest part of Fenway Park snapped a career-long drought of 0-for-24 for Devers.
Adolis Garcia hit his 22nd home run of the year for Texas in the loss. Alex Verdugo connected for his eighth for Boston.
Boston Red Sox
The comeback on Thursday will lift the morale in Boston but it’s a little too little too late to do much for Boston’s playoff hopes.
The Red Sox are 7.5 games back in the Wild Card with far too many teams to pass in order to qualify for the postseason this year.
But three more games at home against Texas represent an opportunity to get on a little winning streak and perhaps play spoiler in September.
The Sox sure would like to get young Brayan Bello some confidence in his first Major League season.
The 23-year-old from Samana, Dominican Republic is still looking for his first big league victory.
After three sub-par starts to his career, Bello has looked better, starting with a long relief appearance piggybacking Rich Hill against Milwaukee back in July.
Bello went four great innings in that appearance and then didn’t make it out of a fifth that he shouldn’t have ever had the chance to begin.
In his last two appearances — both starts — Bello has given up 11 hits and five earned runs in nine innings.
Those numbers aren’t great but the young right-handed did keep the Sox in both games and gave them a chance to win. He struck out a career-high seven in five innings against the Blue Jays.
MLB Baseball Betting Trends:
Texas Rangers vs. Boston Red Sox MLB Prediction:
Bello gets that first Major League win in this game.
It won’t be easy. Texas has a decent lineup but it’s been a long time coming for Bello, who has shown some marginal improvement along his big league journey in 2022.
It will happen here. The Red Sox’ lineup has a little mojo going and you know the fans and the players behind Bello are all going to be a little extra motivated to get the kid in the win column.
