NEW YORK — Brayan Bello threw 28 pitches in his abbreviated start last night in Game 2, and Garrett Whitlock threw a season-high 47 pitches over his 1.2 innings in the seventh and eighth.
If needed, both will be available to pitch again in Game 3.
Prior to first pitch Red Sox manager Alex Cora said everyone will be available out of the bullpen on Thursday, Bello and Whitlock included, and that they will use everyone in whatever fashion it takes to win.
