Brayan Bello allowed one run on six hits in 6 1/3 innings in a win over the Rays on Sunday.
Bello has now allowed three runs or fewer in every start since May 18th and has allowed two runs or fewer in five of his last six starts. He was efficient again on Sunday, throwing 73 of his 105 pitches for strikes and not walking a single batter while striking out five. The 26-year-old continues to morph into a predominantly fastball pitcher with 80 of his 105 pitches being either a four-seamer, sinker, or cutter. He only had two total whiffs on 12 swings on his changeup and sweeper, so the secondaries remain inconsistent, which keeps Bello from being a true difference-maker in fantasy leagues. However, his floor is considerably higher with this new approach and high groundball rate, and he should be rostered in most leagues.
