Brayan Bello’s emergence as a dependable starting pitcher has been one of the biggest developments of the Red Sox season, but lately the second-year standout has run into some trouble.Those struggles continued Saturday as the right-hander labored through his latest outing, allowing four runs on nine hits in Boston’s 6-2 loss to the Detroit Tigers. Red Sox pitchers allowed four home runs in total, including two to outfielder Kerry Carpenter, and the offense couldn’t make the most of the few chances they created, going 0 for 11 with runners in scoring position.It was clear early on that Bello didn’t have it, and while he was able to avoid serious damage with a couple of well-timed double plays, the Tigers were all over him throughout.The trouble started in the second inning, when Bello allowed a leadoff home run to Carpenter and then a single to Spencer Torkelson.
