How Red Sox’s Triston Casas Reacted To Trio Of Home Runs
Casas had a career day at the plate
When Triston Casas is going, the Boston Red Sox know just how special he can be at the plate.
Looking to end an injury-riddled season strong, Casas slugged three home runs to lead the Red Sox to an 8-1 victory in Game 1 of a day-night doubleheader at Fenway Park. Boston finished the sweep of the day in the evening with a 9-3 win in Game 2 against the Minnesota Twins.
The Red Sox slugger drove in seven of Boston’s eight runs in the contest to offer his most dominant day of the season.
“Just a really humble approach today,” Casas told NESN’s Jahmai Webster postgame. “Came up with two outs and a guy in scoring position the first time. Just tried to put the ball in play. Tried to stay out of the double play the second time. Then, trying to see a pitch for Vaughn (Grissom) behind me that third time. He put a fastball where he probably didn’t want to. I was able to capitalize on some mistakes. Felt good to drive in some runs to get a win.”
Casas and the Red Sox embark on their final road trip Monday when they kick off a three-game series against the American League East rival Toronto Blue Jays.
