On the mound today for Boston to try and earn a series win is right-hander Brayan Bello (3-1, 3.04 ERA) through six starts. He takes on Washington’s young left-hander MacKenzie Gore (2-3, 3.44 ERA) in his eighth start of the season to close out this three-game interleague series.
In game one of the series Washington jumped out early and closed out strong in a 5-1 win behind Patrick Corbin’s first win of the season. With Corbin pitching well and the offense stepping up in spots Washington was able to start this series with a strong win against a struggling Boston team.
Then, in game two, Boston locked down Washington in a 4-2 win to even up the series behind a Rafael Devers two-run double in the bottom of the eighth inning to break a 2-2 tie and even the series heading into the rubber match today.
