You read the headline, or were just caught up in the shockwave, but yeah, today’s Merrill Kelly vs. Tanner Houck battle turned out to be the epic conclusion to Eugenio Suarez’s epic 10-RBI weekend as the D-Backs swept the series from the Sox, 7-4.
Corbin Carroll led off with a single that was immediately erased on a lineout double play; thank dog, because I didn’t need that stress to start out the day, and Houck got Joc Pederson out to end the frame.
And then it happened. For the second time since his return, our sweet boy Triston Casas went yard to make it 1-0:
Triston Casas with a first-inning BOMB!
