Over 24 hours after the Red Sox traded away their face of the franchise in Rafael Devers, Boston’s next wave of young talent stepped up to help lift the team to a sixth-straight victory.
Red Sox top prospect Roman Anthony, batting third in the lineup on Monday night against the Mariners, belted his first career home run in the first inning — giving Boston an early lead en route to an eventual 2-0 win over Seattle.
“I think just for us young guys especially, and for all of us, I think the goal is the same — is just to help this team win every day,” Anthony said postgame.
