His first hit came last Tuesday, in his second game with the Red Sox,\u00a0which was an RBI double. He didn&#8217;t make it home from the hit, so Monday night&#8217;s homer was his first official score in the majors, too.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_1mfvp8o-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_hf4a51xdp\">Anthony&#8217;s home run couldn&#8217;t have come at a better time for the Red Sox. This was the first inning for the Red Sox since\u00a0the team traded Rafael Devers\u00a0in a shocking move to the San Francisco Giants on Sunday evening. Red Sox fans were likely nervous for what this trade meant for the team&#8217;s future, but Anthony quickly calmed those nerves a bit by hitting the homer right off the bat in the first game without Devers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is this a good sign for Boston&#8217;s future?
