CHICAGO — Alex Bregman and Roman Anthony will hit back-to-back in the Nos. 2 and 3 spots of the Red Sox lineup Friday. Boston (53-45) opens the second half here at Wrigley Field at 2:20 p.m. eastern. Righty Lucas Giolito (6-1, 3.36 ERA) will start for the Sox opposite Chicago righty Colin Rea (7-3, 3.91 ERA).

Roman Anthony Makes Red Sox History Not Done Since 1965 originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Kudos to the Boston Red Sox for figuring things out over the past few weeks. When it looked like the Red Sox were dead in the dirt, all they did was respond with an impressive streak heading into the All-Star break, winning 10 in a row.

Anthony, at 21 years old, is the youngest Red Sox player to have a nine-game hit streak since Tony Conigliaro 60 years ago. He's the youngest @RedSox hitter with a 9-game hit streak since 1965 (Tony Conigliaro). pic.twitter.com/ByTpJdK0wC
