With widespread anticipation for the big league arrival of Roman Anthony, some have wondered whether the 20-year-old outfielder should see time at first base — a position where the Red Sox are thin — in order to open an additional pathway to the big leagues.

On Tuesday night, the Boston Red Sox imposed their will against the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre, slugging five home runs off righty Bowden Francis in a blowout win ( BOS 10, TOR 2 ). It was Boston's third straight win and their ninth win in the last 13 games. In those 13 games, the Red Sox have outscored their opponents 80-48.

How are the Red Sox weighing when to promote Roman Anthony and Marcelo Mayer to the majors? It's a question that farm director Brian Abraham answered Tuesday.
