Bello pitched 4.2 innings in his season debut, giving up 8 hits and 6 runs while striking out twice and walking three over 92 pitches. The game ended in a 9-2 loss at Daikin Park.
After recording a third out in the bottom of the fifth, Bello was forced to continue pitching, leading to a walk that forced him out of the game. He later said he believed the first pitch was a strike and that the batter swung at the second, but the sequence was not recognized.
