ST. LOUIS — It was not a very happy 25th birthday for Brayan Bello on Friday night at Busch Stadium.
Making his second start since returning from the injured list at the start of the week, Bello served up three of four Cardinals homers and didn’t get out of the fifth inning as the Red Sox dropped the opener of a three-game set, 10-6. The loss dropped Boston to 22-23, marking the first time the club is under .500 since the third day of the season (March 30 at 1-2). The Red Sox have lost seven of their last 10 games and are 5-10 in May.
