The Boston Red Sox are facing a light portion of their schedule and taking advantage of it. Alex Cora's club has scored 76 runs and hit 16 home runs in the past nine games and will try for a fifth win in a row when a three-game series against the visiting Colorado Rockies continues on Tuesday night.

There is a “good chance” Red Sox rookie Roman Anthony will play left field Wednesday against the Rockies, manager Alex Cora said Tuesday. That would be his first time playing in front of the Green Monster. “There’s been a lot of great players to play there,” Anthony said. “When you play left, it’s a big task.”
