Triston Casas was having a quiet day at the plate \u2014 until the 10th inning.<\/p>\n
After going hitless in three at-bats with a walk, the Red Sox first baseman\u00a0launched an 85 MPH changeup\u00a0off the Green Monster to plate ghost runner Alex Bregman from third and secure the\u00a04-3 walk-off win\u00a0for Boston on Saturday over the Chicago White Sox.<\/p>\n
Casas has struggled to begin the season with just three RBI in the first 21 games. Making contact to drive in the winning run on Saturday might turn things around for Casas.<\/p>\n
\u201cEvery hit counts. I\u2019m grateful for every single one,\u201d Casas told reporters, as seen on NESN\u2019s postgame coverage. \u201cHopefully, they come in bunches, but in timely spots is the most important thing. Hopefully, they come with runners in scoring position on base.<\/p>\n
\u201cGetting the rally started with nobody on is huge, too. So, just finding ways to pass the baton, have a good at-bat, and make that bat for the next guy behind me easier. Just keep the lineup rolling, and if I\u2019m on the bottom of the lineup, turn it over because the top of the lineup is doing their job.\u201d<\/p>\n
Red Sox manager Alex Cora knows how cerebral and intentional Casas can be about his swing when he\u2019s at the plate. Cora never wavered that the 25-year-old would eventually get going.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe has been actually swinging the bat well, more aggressive with more conviction,\u201d Cora said on NESN\u2019s postgame coverage. \u201cHe took a walk today, and that is important. In that situation, just put the ball in play. He has that (the Green Monster) that way. He did a good job staying with the pitch and got the W.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014 Cora referred to Garrett Crochet\u2019s outing as \u201cerratic,\u201d with some two-strike hits to extend innings. Crochet threw 65.6% of his pitches for strikes (63-of-96), striking out seven across six scoreless innings of work.<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel like I\u2019m getting away with murder,\u201d Crochet told reporters, as seen on NESN\u2019s postgame coverage. \u201cIt\u2019s only a matter of time before I get caught. I feel like the way that I\u2019m throwing the ball isn\u2019t up to my par. It\u2019s only a matter of time before I get burned, and I\u2019d rather just avoid that at all costs.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2014 Rafael Devers opened the scoring for Boston with his second home run of the season to give the Red Sox a 3-0 lead in the fifth inning. He finished the night going 1-for-4 from the plate with three RBI and a walk.<\/p>\n
\u2014 The Red Sox extended their winning streak to four straight games, and five of their last six, and improved to 6-3 at Fenway Park.<\/p>\n
\u2014 The Red Sox continue their four-game series with the White Sox at Fenway Park on Sunday afternoon, with\u00a0NESN\u2019s coverage\u00a0beginning at 12:30 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
