Despite dropping two of three games on the road against the Cincinnati Reds, the club\u2019s mix of veteran steadiness and youthful talent earned respect from the national outlet’s MLB writer, Joel Reuter.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile the Red Sox offense is just 5-for-29 with runners in scoring position, outfielders Wilyer Abreu (6-for-13, 2 2B, 2 HR, 4 RBI) and Roman Anthony (4-for-13, 3 BB) both looked good at the plate following solid WBC runs,\u201d Reuter wrote<\/a>. \u201cRookie Connelly Early (5.1 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 6 K) has sleeper AL Rookie of the Year upside in the rotation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Abreu\u2019s two homers and Anthony\u2019s patient approach at the plate have given the lineup a dynamic look, while Early\u2019s strong debut innings have already sparked buzz around the Boston rotation, which will send Ranger Su\u00e1rez to the mound on Monday night in Houston.<\/p>\n

With the season still in its infancy, Boston sits in strong position to climb even higher if the bats start clicking in clutch spots.<\/p>\n
