Tim Anderson's first major-league home run was a monster shot.
Anderson hit Red Sox right-hander Clay Buchholz's first pitch Tuesday night over the Green Monster at Fenway Park to help the White Sox jump to a good start in a 3-1 victory. Combined with a 10-inning victory Monday night, the Sox won back-to-back games for the first time since June 9-10.
Anderson became the first Sox player to hit a leadoff homer as his first home run since Thad Bosley in 1978. The home-run ball was retrieved from outside of the stadium for him to keep.
