Boston Red Sox finally grabbed the win Friday night against the Houston Astros, powered by a sharp, major league debut from their No. 6 prospect, 25-year-old Jake Bennett. He stepped in for the injured Garrett Crochet, tossing five solid innings with just one earned run and three strikeouts. Bennett has been lights out all season, first dominating Triple-A Worcester with five starts and a 0.86 ERA before the call-up. That one big league outing fits right in, showing he's ready for the show. Now the rotations getting crowded with Crochet and Sunny Gray, both nearing returns. Gray even threw a live bull pin at Fenway Friday. Meanwhile, Brand Bellow's been roughed up with a 9.12 ERA over six starts and 25 and two thirds innings, a far cry from his. 3.35 mark last year across 166 and two thirds frames. Intra manager Chad Tracey says, Bellow sticks with his next schedule star for now.

As these pictures heat back up, Boston faces some tough choices on who stays in the mix, Bennett's earning his spot. Bellow could flip the script if he rebounds to that elite form.
