Roman Anthony hits home run as Red Sox lose to Mariners

Roman Anthony hit his first Fenway Park home run of the season during the Boston Red Sox's 8-3 loss to the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday. The loss concluded a series that left Boston with six defeats in its last eight games. Anthony, who recently returned from a four-month absence due to a finger injury, recorded three hits in the game. He has now registered at least two hits in four consecutive contests, totaling 9-for-18 since coming off the injured list. The outfielder's performance arrives as the Red Sox manage health concerns for Willson Contreras and Adley Rutschman. Boston now prepares to travel for a four-game series against the Baltimore Orioles starting Thursday.
