Red Sox reactions: Rookie homers, Lucas Giolito K's 10 in post-Rafael Devers Era win
SEATTLE — Instant reactions from the Red Sox' 2-0 win over the Seattle Mariners here at T-Mobile Park on Friday.
1) The Red Sox improved to 1-0 in the post-Rafael Devers Era. It marked their sixth straight win and ninth victory in 11 games as they improved to two games over .500 (38-36).

2) Roman Anthony belted his first MLB home run in the first inning. It was a 391-foot blast to right field and left his bat with a 104 mph exit velocity.
The rookie hit it in his seventh career big league game and 20th plate appearance. He connected on a 96.2 mph sinker from Seattle starting pitcher Logan Gilbert with the count even 2-2.
3) Red Sox starter Lucas Giolito got to work after loading the bases with no outs on three straight singles to begin the bottom of the third inning. He struck out J.P. Crawford, Julio Rodríguez and Cal Raleigh all swinging.
It was the first time in Giolito's career that he struck out the side with the bases loaded without giving up a run. And it was the first time a Red Sox pitcher has done it since Brad Ziegler on Aug. 13, 2016 vs Arizona, according to the Red Sox game notes.

4) Giolito pitched 6 scoreless innings and allowed just three hits and one walk while striking out 10. It marked his 17th career double-digit strikeout game. It also marked the sixth time in his career he has gone 6 or more scoreless innings while striking out 10 or more batters.
5) Boston went ahead 2-0 in the third inning. Jarren Duran tripled with two outs and Abraham Toro singled him home.
6) Duran is tied for the MLB-lead in triples with eight.
7) Greg Weissert walked the first two batters in the eighth inning, but then got Julio Rodriguez to line out to center field, Cal Raleigh to strike out swinging and Jorge Polanco to pop out to third base.

Sports play through another dangerously hot day in parts of the US
CHICAGO (AP) — The shade — under the roof and the upper deck, in every dugout and tunnel — was a popular place at Wrigley Field on Sunday. The sunny seats, not so much. Several major league teams played through a second straight day of muggy conditions as dangerously hot temperatures dominated parts of the United States during a rare June heat wave. The PGA Tour was in a sweltering Connecticut for the Travelers Championship, and the LPGA played the KPMG Women's PGA Championship in the heat of Texas. The gametime temperature was 92 degrees for the series finale between the Mariners and Cubs in Chicago. Kids played in the fountains outside Wrigley before going into the ballpark, and the Cubs encouraged fans to take precautions in a message on the videoboard in left field. 'We don't have any secrets,' Cubs manager Craig Counsell said of playing in the heat. 'You know, we'll do the best we can. ... I think it's the catcher you worry about the most, and the pitcher. They get some time in the shade. They get some downtime between innings. People like the umpires, some of the people working, some of the fans, that's kind of who you worry about even more, actually.' Seattle reliever Trent Thornton and umpire Chad Whitson both left Saturday's game with heat-related issues. Whitson was at third base on Sunday, and Mariners manager Dan Wilson said Thornton was doing well. '(Thornton) was doing much better after the game yesterday and got some fluids in him and a cold bath and was doing much better almost immediately,' Wilson said. 'And then, you know, feels really good today again. So thankful for that and glad to see he's doing well today.' Reds manager Terry Francona said Elly De La Cruz was fine a day after the shortstop threw up during their extra-inning loss at St. Louis. Wilson, 56, a former big league catcher, said there isn't much he can do as manager to help his players with the heat. 'We're all pretty used to playing in hot days,' he said. 'Especially in the minor leagues, you play in a lot of hot places. But, you know, this is a little different. This has been pretty exceptional.' At the LPGA tournament in Frisco, Texas, the forecast called for temperatures in the mid-90s — pretty typical for the area this time of year. The windy conditions were more of an issue for the players. There were several cooling areas around the course for fans, along with spots with free bottled water. ___ AP Sports Writer Stephen Hawkins in Texas and AP freelance reporter Jeff Latzke in Missouri contributed. ___ AP sports:
