BOSTON (AP) — Boston’s Triston Casas homered in his first three at-bats on Sunday in the opener of a split doubleheader against the Minnesota Twins.
The 24-year-old Casas drove in seven runs in Boston’s 8-1 victory.
“It's funny, I was getting chirped on deck,” Casas said. “Nobody was telling me anything about the previous home run. They just wanted another one, another one and another one. That was funny. That's a credit to the fans, expecting not just greatness but perfection. They bring the best out of me.”
The record for homers in a game is four, and its been done 18 times in MLB history.
