The Red Sox got some late-game heroics out of Roman Anthony on Monday night, but the Twins and Mother Nature spoiled the evening for Boston.
Ceddanne Rafaela’s one-out triple was his first extra-base hit since the All-Star break, and at 394 feet, would have been a homer in six ballparks. He became the first player to touch home, thanks to an RBI single by new Red Sox leadoff man Roman Anthony.
Giolito gave up one run on five hits and two walks while striking out five. Jarren Duran homered, doubled and stole a base for the Red Sox.
Red Sox rookie sensation Roman Anthony found himself right in the middle of another big win over the Dodgers on Sunday. So much so, in fact, that two teammates with World Series rings offered lofty comps for the 21-year-old.
