On Monday, Anthony notched two hits, including a two-run homer off reliever Steven Okert, who had allowed just three extra-base hits to left-handed hitters all season, in the seventh inning to bring Boston within one run. But Anthony came to the plate again with two outs in the ninth inning and the tying run on second base and struck out against another tough lefty bullpen arm in Bennett Sousa to end the game. In Game 2, Anthony bounced back from his game-ending punchout in a huge way: He became the third-youngest player in MLB history to hit a home run and draw four walks in a game, with the only two younger being Mel Ott in 1929 and Ted Williams in 1939. Decent company. For Anthony to homer in a second consecutive game after hitting just two homers total over his first 50 career MLB games was especially encouraging.
