Roman AnthonyAnthony had a hot start in the first inning, starting with a sliding catch in center field to take away a hit from Lehigh Valley's Rodolfo Castro.
In the bottom half, Anthony doubled on the second pitch of the night in the leadoff spot. He came around to score on a long two-run home run from rehabbing Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas.

Anthony then singled in the third inning and reached on an infield hit in the fifth inning.
In the top of that frame, he also ran down a ball in center over his left shoulder off the bat of Matt Kroon.
The outfield prospect did ground out in the seventh inning to first base on a play where Anthony appeared to believe that the ball went to the foul side of the base.
Overall? A 3-for-4 night with a run scored certainly plays for the 20-year-old's Triple-A debut.
Kyle TeelTeel got the start behind the plate as he prepares to work with a Triple-A pitching staff for the first time, completing the battery with starter and returning WooSox left-hander Shane Drohan.
Defensively, Teel took advantage of a new opportunity, challenging and winning a ball/strike call for Drohan. The new system in Triple-A worked well on the first try for the Red Sox prospect.
He followed that up with another successful challenge to complete a strikeout for Yohan Ramirez in the eighth inning.
At the plate, Teel struck out twice and had a pair of ground outs to second base. He did win another challenge on a 2-2 pitch in his final at-bat in the eighth inning.
