Boston Red Sox' Brayan Bello Does Something Not Done Since Roger Clemens in Team History

Boston Red Sox youngster Brayan Bello continued to dominate on Wednesday, beating the Texas Rangers, and making some team history not done since 1986.

The Boston Red Sox beat the Texas Rangers on Wednesday by a score of 4-2 as rookie starter Brayan Bello continued his domination over the last month and change.

The righty went seven innings, allowing two runs on eight hits. He walked none and struck out three. In the win, he moved to 6-5 and lowered his ERA to 3.04.

Furthermore, Bello joined an elite club in team history, doing something that hasn't been done since 1986 and Roger Clemens.

Per Alex Speier of the Boston Globe:

Assuming Bello is done, he is the 8th Red Sox ever at age 24 or younger with 5 straight outings of at least 6 1/3 innings and no more than 2 runs allowed, and the first since Clemens in '86 and Eck in '78. This is impressive company.

Bello is the most exciting young pitcher in the Red Sox organization, and his run has been much needed by the team as they've dealt with injuries to Chris Sale, Tanner Houck and Garrett Whitlock this season. The Red Sox are now 44-43 on the year and are on the fringes of the American League playoff picture. If they want to move off the fringes and into the true picture, they'll need Bello to keep performing.

The Red Sox finish out the series with the Rangers on Thursday night at 7:10 p.m. before ending the first half of the season with a series against the Oakland Athletics.

On Thursday, the Sox will face old friend Nathan Eovaldi for Rangers.
