Although unable to attend the game due to injury, the author reflects on a successful night for the Red Sox, highlighted by rookie Roman Anthony hitting his first MLB home run in his debut. Lucas Giolito delivered a stellar performance, demonstrating resilience after a challenging third inning. The bullpen contributed significantly, allowing no runs and maintaining the lead. Key moments included a solid start and overcoming defensive challenges, leading to a victory without extra innings, which was a relief after recent tensions.
"Roman Anthony hit his first MLB home run in his first at-bat, like he's been doing it forever. As someone wrote in our team Slack channel: Raffy who?"
"Lucas Giolito cruised through the first two innings... but he struck out the next three batters to get out of the jam."
"Greg Weissert shook my nerves in the eighth by issuing back-to-back four-pitch walks... Thankfully, he escaped the jam and the bullpen handled it easily the rest of the way."
