Anthony's two-run shot was the exclamation point on his standout Yankee Stadium debut: 2 for 5, three RBIs, two runs, walk.

Nathaniel Lowe’s RBI double against reliever Luke Weaver broke a 3-3 tie in the seventh and proved to be the game-winner. It came in Lowe’s third game with the Red Sox, whom he joined after being released by the Nationals last weekend.

Trevor Story and Ceddanne Rafaela had consecutive RBI singles in a six-run fourth inning filled with five Houston mistakes, Lucas Giolito pitched a season-high eight stellar innings, and the Boston Red Sox beat the Astros 6-1 to complete a series sweep.

With the rise of sports betting and the growing access to athletes on social media, Boston Red Sox pitcher Lucas Giolito wants something to be done to ensure player safety.

From the outside, it looks like the Red Sox might be facing a bit of an uncomfortable situation when it comes to Lucas Giolito’s workload down the stretch. Craig Breslow vows that won't be the case.

On Thursday night, he’ll contend with them again, on their home turf. Anthony will lead off for the Red Sox in the first of a crucial four-game set at Yankee Stadium this weekend, as Boston looks to right the ship after dropping three in a row and eight of their last 12.

Lucas Giolito is no stranger to Yankee fans, making his sixth start against them in what’s turning out to be a pretty solid Major League career. He has a 3.63 ERA in his first season in Boston, but his lowest strikeout rate since 2018 could indicate he’s more vulnerable than the topline stats may indicate.

Giolito allowed three runs on five hits and three walks while striking out four over 4.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Yankees on Thursday.

Alex Cora noted Thursday that Boston's big four-game series against the Yankees this weekend is the first "meaningful" one between the clubs in the Bronx in a while. Here are the lineups for Game 1 (which is on FOX).
