Bello's Debut Marred by Missed Strikeout, Early Exit

Bello pitched 4.2 innings at Daikin Park, allowing 8 hits and 6 runs while striking out only twice. He was forced to continue after recording the third out in the bottom of the fifth, which led to a walk and his exit in a 9-2 defeat.

Bello said he believed the first pitch was a strike and that the batter swung at the second, but the sequence went unnoticed. He expressed frustration over the missed strikeout and the odd play that extended the inning.
