Triston Casas Makes History with Three Homers Against the Twins
In a stunning display of power, Boston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas made headlines during the opener of a split doubleheader against the Minnesota Twins. The 24-year-old slugger hit three home runs in his first three at-bats, driving in seven runs and leading the Red Sox to an emphatic 8-1 victory. This performance not only showcased Casas' prodigious talent but also reignited excitement among Red Sox fans as they head into the final stretch of the season.
Casas kicked off his remarkable day with a three-run homer in the first inning, sending a first-pitch fastball from Twins pitcher Pablo López deep over the right-center field wall, an estimated 400 feet away. The energy in Fenway Park was electric as he rounded the bases, his teammates celebrating in the dugout. By the end of the inning, the Red Sox were up 3-0, setting the tone for what was to come.

Not one to slow down, Casas struck again in the third inning. After the Red Sox had loaded the bases, he came to the plate with two runners on. López threw another fastball, and Casas drove it into the Green Monster seats, extending the lead to 6-0. This marked the second time in his career that he had hit multiple home runs in a game, the first being back in July of the previous season.
As if that wasn't enough, Casas completed his hat trick with yet another home run in the fifth inning, this time off reliever Brent Headrick. His third homer, launched on the very first pitch, gave the Red Sox an impressive 8-1 lead. The crowd erupted in applause, fully aware that they were witnessing something special. Only 18 players in MLB history have hit four home runs in a single game, a feat last accomplished by J.D. Martinez in 2017. While Casas fell just short of that milestone, he left fans buzzing with excitement and hope.
The Twins, on the other hand, struggled to capitalize on their opportunities. After a promising start with a bases-loaded situation in the first inning, they failed to push any runs across. It was a stark contrast to the Red Sox’s offensive onslaught, which left López reeling after allowing seven earned runs over four innings. The Twins managed only one run throughout the game, showcasing how effectively the Red Sox had shut them down.
As the game progressed, it became clear that this matchup was not going as the Twins had hoped. Despite their recent momentum, they were outclassed by a Red Sox team energized by Casas' heroics. The remaining innings saw the Twins struggle offensively, and they sent the minimum number of batters to the plate in the sixth through ninth innings.
In the end, Triston Casas not only etched his name in the record books for his remarkable performance but also provided a much-needed spark for the Red Sox as they look to finish the season strong. The excitement around Fenway Park was palpable, with fans eager to see if Casas can continue this impressive form. As they move into the second game of the doubleheader, all eyes will be on him, hoping for more fireworks from this rising star.
