Red Sox Extend Six-Game Win Streak With Rookie Anthony's First MLB Home Run

In their first game following the trade of Rafael Devers, the Boston Red Sox extended their win streak to six games with a 2-0 victory over the Seattle Mariners, highlighted by rookie Roman Anthony's first major league home run. Anthony, just 21 years old, hit a solo shot off Mariners starter Logan Gilbert in the first inning, providing an early lead and demonstrating his potential as a key player in the Red Sox's future lineup. Lucas Giolito delivered a dominant pitching performance, striking out 10 batters over six scoreless innings and escaping a bases-loaded, no-out jam in the third inning. The Red Sox bullpen, including Justin Wilson, Greg Weissert, and closer Aroldis Chapman, preserved the shutout for the team’s sixth consecutive win. This game marked the Red Sox’s first victory without Devers and showcased the promising contributions of young players like Anthony, who is now batting third in the lineup. The strong pitching and emerging offense have positioned Boston well in the American League wild-card race.
