BOSTON — Roman Quinn was never going to forget his first major-league start. Just in case, though, Phillies manager Gabe Kapler made it memorable by dropping Quinn into the most challenging right field in baseball.
With the Phillies facing tough Boston Red Sox lefthander David Price in the opener of a two-game interleague series, Kapler put lefty-hitting Nick Williams on the bench and gave Quinn his first start since getting called up Friday from triple-A Lehigh Valley. Kapler, a former Red Sox outfielder, then gave Quinn a brief tutorial on how to play Fenway Park’s expansive right field with a deep corner, a short wall, and a sliver of foul ground.
