Roman Anthony gets first MLB hit for Red Sox in second game

BOSTON -- Red Sox outfielder Roman Anthony, the top-rated prospect in all of baseball, hit a two-run double for his first career base hit Tuesday night, helping Boston win 3-1 over the Tampa Bay Rays.

One night after his MLB debut, when he went hitless and committed an error in an 11-inning loss, Anthony went 1-for-4 and gave Boston a 2-0 lead in the first inning with a sharp double to left. He also made a sliding catch in right field.

The 21-year-old second-round draft pick went viral over the weekend when he hit a 497-foot grand slam in Triple-A Worcester.
