Triston Casas continued the tear he’s been on since the All-Star break in the Red Sox’ win over the New York Mets on Saturday.
The Red Sox rookie first baseman hit two home runs off of three-time Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer, including a 428-foot shot to dead center field in the sixth inning off of a 95 mph four-seam fastball.
Casas had a good feeling it was gone at the crack of the bat, taking some time to cherish the moment and look toward the Red Sox’ dugout.
“I think that was the first home run that I’ve hit that I’ve gotten to take my time around the bases at Fenway,” Casas told reporters.
