Roman Anthony punking Yankees in first road rivalry game has Red Sox stars gushing

Not much went the Boston Red Sox's way offensively in much of their August 22 series opener against the New York Yankees. But finally, Roman Anthony delivered, as he tends to do, in the top of the ninth inning.

Anthony came to bat with a runner on second base with a tight 4-3 advantage, and muscled the first pitch he saw from Yerry De Los Santos into the second deck of Yankee Stadium. It was the rookie's rivalry debut and just the 59th big league game of his career, but he looked like he'd been the hero a thousand times before.
