In a turbulent time for the Boston Red Sox following the shocking trade of All-Star Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants, there was a bright spot as top prospect Roman Anthony hit his first career home run, leading the Red Sox to a 2-0 victory against the Seattle Mariners.

This win showcased the resilience of the Red Sox, as starting pitcher Lucas Giolito delivered six shutout innings. Anthony’s home run came during his seventh game since being called up, helping the Sox extend their winning streak to six games, including a sweep over the New York Yankees prior to the Devers trade.

The trade of Devers has raised eyebrows among fans and executives alike, as he was the last member of the 2018 World Series-winning team. With Anthony's promising performance, however, fans now have a new player to watch as the franchise navigates this challenging transition.
