After the Boston Red Sox fell to the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-1 on Friday night at Dodger Stadium, the two teams will meet again on Saturday for the middle game of the series where the Red Sox will try and even the series at one apiece.

Bello has struggled for Boston this season, posting a 5.32 ERA and a 1.47 WHIP and striking out 85 batters in his 17 starts. In his last five starts, he's allowed 18 earned runs combined, including giving up seven to the Toronto Blue Jays. Three Dodgers have recorded hits against him in his career - Cavan Biggio (1-for-7 with two RBIs), Teoscar Hernandez (2-for-9) and Shohei Ohtani (3-for-5).
Wrobleski made his MLB debut earlier this month and so far has allowed eight runs (seven earned) on 10 hits and four walks while striking out eight batters over 10 innings against the Detroit Tigers and Milwaukee Brewers. This will be his first start against the Red Sox.
