In 2023, his breakout season in the minors, Red Sox outfielder Roman Anthony knew his overall numbers were obscuring his struggles against left-handed pitching. Anthony, a left-handed hitter, was named Boston’s minor league hitter of the year while batting .219 against lefties.

Tarik Skubal hit the 200-strikeout mark Tuesday night and, for the second straight season, got there before anyone else. The Tigers’ ace punched out 10 Astros over six-plus scoreless innings at Comerica Park, another metronome outing from the reigning AL Cy Young winner and this year’s front-runner.

The Red Sox went into the ninth with a 3-2 lead, but Miami stormed back to earn a 5-3 win and avoid a sweep at Fenway Park.

The Boston Red Sox will have ace Garrett Crochet on the mound Sunday afternoon when they attempt to complete a three-game sweep of the visiting Miami Marlins.
