"Over the summer, Anthony and Bregman went on to appear in the same game 45 times. The Red Sox went 28-17 in those games (a 101 win pace). Before long, The Red Sox figured out that Anthony and Bregman were their two best everyday players and began batting them first and second. It was sublime! It was lefty and a righty, a rookie and a veteran, a teacher and a student."
"Even their last names start with the letters "A" and "B" at the top of the order together. As a perfect pair, they represent a double dose of brutal guys to face when the opponent needs a big out, and for a while it felt like at least one of them was in the middle of virtually every big rally there for a few weeks."
On July 11 Roman Anthony and Alex Bregman appeared in the same lineup for the first time, with Anthony pinch-hitting, walking, and setting up Ceddanne Rafaela's walk-off. The same night also included Hunter Dobbins suffering an injury. Over the summer the pair appeared in 45 games together and the Red Sox went 28-17 in those contests. The team later batted Anthony and Bregman first and second for 25 games, going 16-9 in that stretch. The pairing offered lefty-righty balance and rookie-veteran chemistry. Roman Anthony went on the injured list with an oblique injury as of September 2.
