Roman Anthony News: Legs out double, scores lone run
Anthony went 1-for-3 with a walk, a double and a run scored in Saturday's 1-0 win over Tampa Bay.
Anthony extended his hit streak to eight games in the fourth inning, when he legged out a double on a ball hit to right field with an exit velocity of 103.4 mph. With Masataka Yoshida back on the roster and most likely starting at DH, Boston's crowded outfield mix could change on a daily basis, with Ceddanne Rafaela moving from center field to second base Saturday to accommodate Anthony, Jarren Duran and Wilyer Abreu. Anthony has made an impressive adjustment to MLB pitching. After batting .114 over his first 15 games in the majors, he's hit safely in 13 of his last 14 starts, posting a .379/.438/.534 slash line with seven extra-base hits, eight RBI and 13 runs scored during that stretch.
