Red Sox Triumph Over Twins Despite Injury to Casas
BOSTON (AP) — The Boston Red Sox defeated the Minnesota Twins 6-1 at Fenway Park on Friday night, but the victory was overshadowed by a serious injury to first baseman Triston Casas. Injured in the second inning while attempting to beat out a slow roller, Casas was carried off the field on a stretcher, raising concerns about his left knee.
In the game, Rafael Devers delivered a crucial two-run single in the seventh inning, breaking a tie and securing Boston’s lead. David Hamilton shone with three hits and two stolen bases, while Alex Bregman contributed a key home run, marking his eighth of the season.
The contest saw starting pitcher Brayan Bello perform admirably, allowing only one run on four hits over 6 2/3 innings. The Red Sox offense continued its strong performance, recording 13 hits—a feat achieved in 11 of their wins this season.
Looking ahead, the teams will face off again on Saturday, with the Red Sox starting RHP Hunter Dobbins against the Twins’ RHP Bailey Ober. Red Sox fans will be eagerly awaiting updates on Casas’ condition following his unsettling exit from the game.
