BOSTON — Left fielder Roman Anthony ’s errant throw with the game tied in the eighth inning cost the Red Sox two runs in an 8-6 loss to the Brewers on Monday at Fenway Park. “It was a terrible throw again,” Anthony said. The 21-year-old had the ball in his glove before baserunner Brice Turang even rounded third base.
Brewers center fielder Garrett Mitchell singled 217 feet to left with Turang on second base and Christian Yelich on first base. Anthony’s off-line throw took a hop before even reaching cut-off man Caleb Durbin. It bounced past Durbin and rolled across the third-base side on-deck circle to the backstop.
Catcher Carlos Narváez rushed to retrieve the ball. Yelich followed Turang home, scoring from first base. Turang beat Narváez’s throw to reliever Garrett Whitlock covering home plate.
“I didn’t have a shot with that throw,” Anthony said. “Gotta be better. It’s terrible.
