Triston Casas and Rafael Devers put the Boston Red Sox on the board early against the Baltimore Orioles on Monday night.
Opening up a three-game series in Baltimore, the Red Sox were saved by some timely round-trippers during their series finale with the Milwaukee Brewers a night ago. And this go-around, Casas wanted to ensure that Boston would remain in the win column as they continue to play catch-up in the American League East.
In the second inning, Casas blasted a solo home run 426 feet to right field off Orioles starting pitcher Dean Kremer to quickly strike first and put Boston ahead, 1-0.
Watch Casas launch his third home run of the season here:
Casas last went deep for the Red Sox back on April 9 against the Detroit Tigers.
Then in the third inning, Devers followed Casas’ lead with a home run of his own and now leads the AL with nine on the season.
Perhaps the long-ball production will prove to be the start of an offensive rally for Red Sox pitcher Chris Sale to work with to give Boston a fourth win in its last five games.
The Red Sox led the Orioles, 4-0, at the bottom of the third inning. And you can catch the rest of the action, plus postgame coverage, live on NESN.
