The Boston Red Sox are winning some games they may not otherwise win because of Triston Casas’ hot bat. At Fenway Park on Saturday night, one of the finest instances occurred.
Against the New York Mets, the Red Sox were up 8-3 entering the ninth inning. A three-run outburst from Boston’s bullpen later made the game exciting, but the home team managed to hold on for an 8-6 victory.
Casas’s offensive output was one factor that allowed the Red Sox to escape with a win despite giving up three runs in the ninth inning.
Off the Mets’ ace Max Scherzer, the Red Sox youngster hit two home runs. It happened in the second inning.
A two-run drive from his second home run was hit in the fifth inning.
In his 16th big league season, Triston Casas became the only rookie ever to have a multi-homer game against Scherzer.
The Red Sox persevered with the 23-year-old first baseman despite a rough start to the season. By batting, he has demonstrated that they have faith in him. Three hundred forty-one in his past 88 at-bats, including seven home runs and 16 RBI.
The Red Sox offense, which leads the American League in hitting average, on-base percentage, doubles, hits, and runs scored, is now even more formidable thanks to Casas’ comeback.
The Red Sox should have a decent opportunity to clinch one of the three AL wild-card playoff positions if they can get top-notch starting pitching before the MLB trade deadline on August 1.
