Many players dream that their first hit in the majors will be a home run or a dramatic hit in the clutch.
Triston Casas’s first MLB hit was far from either.
In his third at-bat of his MLB debut, Casas had a chance to extend the Red Sox’ lead to 6-2 with a base hit in the fifth inning because Trevor Story was at second base. Casas got the base knock, but it was dribbler toward short. Rangers second baseman Marcus Semien ran to make a play on the ball, stopping it from rolling into left field.
