Roman Anthony left the yard for the first time of his Major League career Monday night. The Red Sox prospect hit his first career home run as Boston kicked off a three-game series against the Mariners in Seattle.

Rafael Devers era ended the same way as the last five days of the Devers era: with a win. The Red Sox shut out out the Seattle Mariners at T-Mobile Park on Monday night (BOS 2, SEA 0), one day after the stunner of a trade that sent Devers to the San Francisco Giants for four players and salary relief.

With prized rookie Roman Anthony struggling at the plate since arriving in the majors, Red Sox manager Alex Cora figured some playful banter was in order Monday.
