Bello Leads Red Sox to 5-1 Win Over Orioles

— In a commanding performance, Brayan Bello led the Boston Red Sox to a 5-1 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday night, taking a no-hitter into the sixth inning. Jarren Duran played a pivotal role, delivering a tiebreaking two-run single in the seventh that solidified Boston's lead. Rafael Devers also contributed significantly, hitting his team-high 27th home run, as the Red Sox closed the gap to seven games behind the first-place New York Yankees in the AL East. Bello's impressive outing saw him limit the Orioles to just three walks before Gunnar Henderson broke the no-hitter with a home run in the sixth, tying the game at 1-1. Following a single from Ryan O’Hearn, Bello concluded his performance with six strikeouts, improving his record to 11-5. The Orioles' Cade Povich, who was recalled from the minors, pitched effectively for six innings but ultimately fell short, allowing two runs and six hits while striking out six. The Red Sox finally broke through in the sixth inning with an RBI single from Tyler O’Neill, who had just returned from the injured list after missing 12 games due to a leg infection. Devers later added a two-run homer in the eighth, extending Boston's lead to 5-1 and sealing the victory. Povich's performance marked a significant improvement, as he did not issue any walks after struggling with control earlier in the season.
