Top prospect Roman Anthony demolished two home runs and Marcelo Mayer recorded his first Triple-A hit in the Worcester Red Sox’ 12-0 victory over the Mets on Sunday.

Anthony, who Baseball America ranks No. 2 on its Top 100 prospect list, pulled a 109.6 mph, 412-foot solo home run to right field in the sixth inning, putting the WooSox ahead 8-0.

His opposite field homer to left-center field in the eighth inning went 364 feet with a 106.4 mph exit velocity. The two-run blast made it 12-0.

Anthony also drew two walks and had a lineout to left field that went 105.3 mph off his bat.

Mayer’s first Triple-A hit came in the third inning, a 109.2 mph, two-run single that put the WooSox ahead 3-0.

Mayer, who Baseball America ranks the game’s No. 15 prospect, went 2-for-4. He hit two balls with more than a 100 mph exit velocity. His groundout to second base in the eighth left his bat at 105.6 mph.

Trayce Thompson added three hits, including a 382-foot homer in the sixth inning.

Michael Fulmer — the 2016 AL Rookie of the Year and an All-Star in 2017 — started and went 4 scoreless innings. He allowed two hits and no walks while striking out five.

Fulmer, who is returning this season after he spent all of last year rehabbing from elbow surgery in Fort Myers, threw 18 cutters, 14 sweepers, 10 four-seam fastballs, nine sinkers and three changeups. He topped out at 93.6 mph.

Lefty Shane Drohan — who underwent shoulder surgery last year — tossed 2 scoreless innings of relief. He allowed one hit and one walk while striking out. His fastball topped out at 95.4 mph.

Drohan is scheduled to start for the WooSox next Friday in Jacksonville.
