Worcester Red Sox News Release


WORCESTER, M.A. - The Worcester Red Sox (33-34) delivered one of their most dominant performances of the season on both sides of the ball, a 5-0 win over the Charlotte Knights (25-42) on Tuesday night at Polar Park in a game that took two hours, 11 minutes.

Josh Taylor, working in his first Major League rehab assignment since April 27, tossed an easy 1-2-3 inning in the first. The left-hander threw seven total pitches, getting a flyout and a pair of groundouts, including a ground ball to third against White Sox MLB rehabber Eloy Jiménez.

For the first time this season, Brayan Bello entered in the second as a reliever for the WooSox, but the right-hander continued his dominance. Bello tossed a Triple-A career high in innings, posting the following line: 7 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 7 K.

Over seven outings in Worcester, the 23-year-old has a 3.12 ERA and has struck out 57 batters in 40.1 innings.

Offensively, a pair of big swings powered the WooSox to victory. In the second, Jaylin Davis cracked a solo homer to right-center, an opposite field blast that went 409 feet.

By night's end, Davis would come up a double short of the cycle; over his last seven games, the 27-year-old is 11-25 with a double, two triples and three home runs.

Christin Stewart came up with a man on in the sixth and uncorked a two-run homer to right, a ball that seemed to be on the rise as it cleared the Worcester Wall. When it landed 397 feet away, it gave the home team a 3-0 lead and gave Stewart his 10th of the season.

Worcester added a pair of insurance runs in the eighth, starting with an RBI ground-rule double by Roberto Ramos, his 12th extra-base-hit of the season. That was followed by Nick Sogard's first Triple-A RBI, a run-scoring groundout back to the pitcher.

Kaleb Ort finished the night off with a scoreless top half of the ninth, his fourth straight runless outing.

Christian Arroyo was 0-3 out of the leadoff spot in an MLB rehab assignment, returning from the COVID-19 Injured List.

The WooSox continue the six-game series at Polar Park on Wednesday at 6:45 p.m. against the Charlotte Knights, affiliate of the Chicago White Sox. On the mound, Thomas Pannone (4-3, 5.02) gets the start for Worcester.
