Marcelo Mayer's first major league home run was greeted by a chorus of boos as he rounded the bases at New York's Yankee Stadium last week.

Expectations are high for Marcelo Mayer as a Boston Red Sox player, and his impressive potential was on full display during Wednesday night’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays at Fenway Park. Mayer hit two home runs to right field — one in the second inning and another in the fourth inning — to help the Red Sox beat the Rays 4-3 for their fourth win

The 22-year-old rookie hammered both blasts to right field. The first one went 418 feet and left his bat at 108.7 mph. The second one went 410 feet with a 104.9 mph exit velocity. 2) As Mayer wore the Wally head in the dugout — as all Red Sox players do to celebrate their home runs — pitcher Lucas Giolito kissed both cheeks.
