Sunday, September 4, 2022 – Fenway Park, Section 32 Red Sox 5, Rangers 2
I was excited when I heard that the Red Sox were calling up #2 prospect Triston Casas in time for my next game at Fenway. I had seen him in Spring Training and in Triple A, and now I’d get to see his big league debut. Even better, the Sox had won the first three games against the Texas Rangers, and were going for the sweep in the Sunday matinee. My favorite photos from the game are below.
Triston Casas started at first base in his Major League debut, and picked up his first hit on a single in the fifth.Raffy had a hug for old friend Martin Perez, back with the Rangers after two years in Boston.Josh Winckowski made the spot start after Kutter Crawford was placed on the IL.Casas played a good first base.Trevor Story had a great game all around. He had three hits, including a 3-run homer to give the Sox the lead in the first, a base hit that he stretched into a double in the fifth, an amazing leaping catch of a line drive, and and expert tag to nab a would-be base-stealer.Story is greeted at the plate after his 3-run homer in the first.Xander’s shoes read “X gonna give it to ya.”Matt Strahm pitched a 1-2-3 eighth inning. The Sox also got scoreless appearances from Kaleb Ort, Jeurys Familia, and the save from John Schreiber.Infielder convention. Looks like Raffy and Trevor found a box of old Fourth of July gear in the back of the clubhouse.The Red Sox swept the four-game series and won their fifth in a row.
