On Friday night, Anthony, with his hands back, pounced on a first-pitch slider from Yankees reliever Yerry De los Santos -- in this case, a right-hander -- in the ninth inning, ballooning the Red Sox's lead. The blast incited a mass exodus of Yankees fans. With three games remaining in the series, they had already seen enough of Anthony.

The Red Sox had tons of chances with runners in scoring position Thursday and cashed in on very few of them. In the end, big swings by Nathaniel Lowe and Roman Anthony were all the club needed in a win over the Yankees.

The 21-year-old rookie demolished a two-run, ninth-inning homer into the second deck in right field in a 6-3 win over the Yankees.
