SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — As a player for the Dodgers, Red Sox manager Alex Cora witnessed more than his share of towering drives over the fences by home run king Barry Bonds.
Triston Casas hit a shot to left-center that Cora considered one of the best ever seen in San Francisco.
“Any time I can get my name mentioned with Barry Bonds, it’s awesome,” Casas said.
Moved up in the batting order, Casas homered and hit an RBI double to back Kutter Crawford, and Boston beat the Giants 3-2 on Friday night for its fifth straight win.
