The Red Sox demoted Brayan Bello, a starting pitcher after a series of recent struggles, including the final straw Thursday when the pitcher gave up 6 runs in the first inning alone against the Orioles. Bello is being sent down to Worcester's Triple A. The pitcher has been defensive when asked about his struggles and told reporters that he is not interested in working through his struggles in Triple-A Worcester saying, "I’m thinking about making my adjustments in the big leagues…I have a big-league contract, that doesn’t mean the bosses will take a position or not, taking that into consideration, but I’m a big leaguer...and I’ll make my adjustments here.”
