Roman Anthony checked off an important box Monday in his young MLB career.

The highly touted Boston Red Sox center fielder went deep in the top of the first inning for the first home run of his career. Anthony smashed a 96 mph sinker from Seattle Mariners pitcher Logan Gilbert.

The baseball went 391 feet and gave Boston an early 1-0 lead as it looks to win its sixth game in a row.
