The Red Sox didn’t hold back taking aim at Yankees star Gerrit Cole, especially Brayan Bello.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Safe to say that the\u00a0Boston Red Sox-New York Yankees\u00a0rivalry remains alive and well, especially when Gerrit Cole is on the mound for the Bronx Bombers. His history with Red Sox slugger Rafael Devers was widely noted coming into his start against Boston on Saturday but it added another befuddling chapter in an eventual 7-1 loss for the Yankees.<\/p>\n

Cole’s first time facing Devers in that matchup at Yankee Stadium saw him hit the third baseman with an inside cutter on an 0-1 count, a pitch that Red Sox manager\u00a0Alex Cora said after the game\u00a0he had no doubt was intentional. But speaking of intentional, things got weirder in the fourth inning for Cole and Devers when he\u00a0issued a one-out intentional walk\u00a0with no one on and New York ahead 1-0. It was a\u00a0decision that was all Cole’s\u00a0\u2014 and one that also came back to bite him.<\/p>\n

The Red Sox took the lead in that inning, 3-1, and then continued to pour it on, including a two-RBI single from Devers that ran Cole from the game in the next frame, allowing seven runs in 4.1 innings and taking the loss.<\/p>\n

After the game, however, he kept taking L’s, and perhaps none was worse than the one that Red Sox starter Brayan Bello, the winning pitcher in Saturday’s game, delivered afterward.<\/p>\n

Bello, like many of the Red Sox players and coaches, was asked about the choice to walk Devers and how he felt about it. The 25-year-old didn’t hold back an ounce of his distaste with a simple statement that completely annihilated Cole for making what many perceived as a wholly cowardly decision against a player who has owned him throughout his career.<\/p>\n

“I don’t know what to tell you,” Bello said through a translator on the NESN postgame show in the clubhouse. “I feel like he showed a lot of weakness in that moment.”<\/p>\n
