Brayan Bello had one of the best starts of his life, his first nine-inning complete game. He held the Rockies to five hits, all singles, and struck out a season-high 10.

For five innings, Fenway Park witnessed a tense pitchers’ duel. Then the 2025 Rockies showed up. You can guess the result, if not the score.

Both Brayan Bello and Kyle Freeland kept the opposing offenses toothless until the sixth inning when a series of unfortunate events gave the Red Sox a lead they never relinquished. When the game ended, the Rockies had received a 10-2 root canal. Both Kyle Freeland and Brayan Bello were in top form tonight.
