Roman Anthony crushed a homer and hit Yankees with epic bat flip in his Yankee Stadium debut

Red Sox rookie Roman Anthony introduced himself to the crowd at Yankee Stadium in a big way Thursday night. In his first big league game in the Bronx, Anthony crushed a two-run homer to give Boston some much-needed insurance in a 6-3 victory over New York .

With the Red Sox hanging onto a 4-3 lead in the top of the ninth and David Hamilton on second base, Anthony gave Boston some breathing room with one swing of his bat. He saw only one pitch from New York reliever Yerry De Los Santos, and Anthony destroyed it.

Anthony demolished an 85 mph slider from De Los Santos and sent it 370 feet into the right field stands. It was a no-doubter of a homer, and put the Red Sox on top, 6-3.
