Roman Anthony Sends Red Sox Loud Message In First Rehab Game originally appeared on NESN. Add NESN as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Roman Anthony did not need long to remind the Boston Red Sox what they have been missing. Anthony began his minor league rehab ****** ignment with a nearly perfect night at the plate Tuesday, going 2-for-2 with a two-run home run, two walks and two RBIs in the Portland Sea Dogs' 7-5 victory over the Reading Fightin Phils at Hadlock Field.
It was Anthony's first game action since a right ring finger injury forced him out of Boston's lineup in early May. The results could hardly have been more encouraging.
Anthony reached base in all four of his plate appearances and delivered the biggest hit of the night for Portland. More importantly, the 22-year-old showed no obvious hesitation at the plate after spending more than three months working his way back.
Anthony walked in the first inning before collecting a single in the third. The defining moment arrived in the fifth. With Portland holding a 2-0 lead, Anthony launched a two-run home run to extend the advantage to four. Brooks Brannon followed with an RBI single, giving the Sea Dogs a 5-0 cushion.
