Triston Casas is on fire at the plate, and it's helping the Boston Red Sox win some games they otherwise might lose.
Casas became the first rookie ever to have a multi-homer game against Scherzer, who is in his 16th major league season.
The 23-year-old first baseman had a difficult start to the season, but the Red Sox stuck with him. He has rewarded their confidence in him by batting .341 with seven home runs and 16 RBI in his last 88 at-bats. In his first 183 at-bats of the season, Triston Casas hit .197 with seven homers and 19 RBIs. In his last 88 at-bats, he is hitting .341 with seven homers and 16 RBIs.Casas' resurgence has strengthened an already potent Red Sox offense that ranks No. 2 in the American League in batting average, No. 3 in on-base percentage, No. 1 in doubles, No. 2 in hits and No. 3 in runs scored.
If the Red Sox can add some quality starting pitching before the Aug. 1 MLB trade deadline, they should have a pretty good chance to secure one of the three wild card playoff spots in the AL.
