Bruins goalie Jeremy Swayman and some teammates put away sticks to take BP at Fenway Park
Morgan Geekie and Tanner Jeannot each homered over the Green Monster as the Bruins joined batting practice before the Red Sox faced the Royals.
Boston Bruins goaltender Jeremy Swayman and teammates took batting practice at Fenway Park on Saturday before the Red Sox faced the Kansas City Royals.
The Bruins are preparing for the season, having completed captain's practices this week and opening training camp Friday.
Forward Morgan Geekie cleared the Green Monster with a home run, while Tanner Jeannot hit two over the wall; 6-foot-7 defenseman Nikita Zadorov shagged fly balls in the outfield.
"It's fun being over the plate and being on offense for once," Swayman told The Associated Press, contrasting his batting experience with his goaltending role.
Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy suggested starting pitcher Payton Tolle could play an enforcer role, citing his size at 6-foot-6 and 250 pounds.
