Roman Anthony’s Explosive MLB Debut: Two-Run Double Sparks Red Sox Surge Against Rays
Advertisement
On Tuesday, Anthony got to work in his first at-bat. With runners on second and third in the bottom of the first inning, Anthony faced an outside changeup from Rays starter Ryan Pepiot on a 1-2 count.
He swung and sent a line drive down the left-field line that rolled to the outfield wall.
Two runs scored, and Anthony reached second for a go-ahead double on his first MLB hit. Not a bad way to start the career highlight reel.
Can Anthony help Sox compete in AL East?
A Red Sox team sitting near the bottom of the AL East standings (32-36 before Tuesday’s game) and in need of an offensive injection called Anthony up from Triple-A Worcester following an injury to right fielder Wilyer Abreu. A 21-year-old outfielder, Anthony is filling in for Abreu in right and batting fifth in the Red Sox lineup.
