The New York Yankees started their final series with the Red Sox on a high note Friday with a 4-1 win, and now they’ll face a known Beantown foe on Saturday afternoon.
One day after Luis Gil gave the Yankees six innings of no-hit ball, Boston counters with their own phenom. That would be young righty Brayan Bello who, at 26 and with four seasons under his belt, is about as much of a strikeout pitcher as Gil is a US Park ranger. Instead of leaning on velocity and whiffs, Bello’s go-to pitches are his sinker, sweeper, and a number of breaking pitches.
