The Red Sox scored 8 runs in the 2nd inning and the first 10 outs recorded by starting pitcher Brayan Bello were via the strikeout Tuesday night in a series-opening 12-9 win over the Oakland A's at Fenway Park. Bello gave up 2 runs in the first inning, but also struck out 3 in his first inning of work. 

The A's lead was short-lived. Jarren Duran led off the home first with a double and he scored on an RBI single by David Hamilton. Tyler O'Neill's double put runners at 2nd & 3rd and both runners scored on a 2-run single by Rafael Devers. Joey Estes retired the next 3 batters and Devers was stranded at 2nd-base. Bello again struck out 3 in the 2nd inning, but he did end up stranding 2 runners in scoring position. 

Dominic Smith led off the home second with a walk and scored from first-base on a triple down the right-field line off the bat of Ceddanne Rafaela. Duran brought Rafaela in from 3rd-base with a sacrifice fly and that made it 5-2. Sox were far from done. O'Neill was hit by a pitch with two outs to extend the inning and the Red Sox added on with 6 more runs all with 2 outs. Devers had an RBI double and later in the inning Wilyer Abreu broke out of an 0-for-16 slump with a 3-run Home Run. Smith followed with a solo Home Run and the Sox led, 11-2, after the first 2 innings. 

Bello struck out the side in order on 13 pitches in the 3rd inning. He recorded 2 more strikeouts in the 4th to give him 11 through the first 4 innings. He allowed a single and got an inning-ending double play in the 5th. He allowed a 3-run Home Run in the 6th inning with 1 out. Bello's line- 5.1 IP. 9 Hits. 5 R. 5 ER. 2 BB. 11 K's (career-high) and 1 Home Run allowed. 

Trey Wingenter made his Red Sox debut in the 9th inning. The 30-year-old gave up a 3-run Home Run to Zack Gelof in the 9th but managed to get the final out. 

With Tuesday night's win over the A's, the Red Sox are a season-high 10 games over .500. The series continues Wednesday night at Fenway. Nick Pivetta goes for the Red Sox and JP Sears makes the start for Oakland. 

Locked On Red Sox POSTCAST Notes- Every hitter in the starting lineup had at least 1 hit and 1 run scored in the victory. The Red Sox are now 10-6 this season in starts made by Bello. Devers has 20 RBI over his last 14 games and 2 or more RBIs in 7 of his last 8 games. Alex Cora passed Bill Carrigan and is now all alone in 4th place on the Red Sox all-time list for managers wins with 490.
