How Red Sox’s Triston Casas Reacted To Trio Of Home Runs

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.

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, beginning a three-game set within the American League East against the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday.
