Overview

• Roman Anthony recorded his first major league hit with a two-run double in the first inning and made a sliding catch in right field.
• Lucas Giolito limited the Rays to one unearned run and three hits over six innings to earn his first win in five starts.
• Boston improved to 33-35 on the season but remains 8½ games behind the Yankees and leads MLB with a 4-8 extra-inning record.
• Wilyer Abreu’s placement on the 10-day injured list with a left oblique strain created the roster spot that Anthony filled.
• Anthony’s promotion completes the Red Sox’s elite hitting prospect trio with Marcelo Mayer and Kristian Campbell, bolstering a lineup affected by injuries.
