Red Sox Defeat Twins 8-1 in Doubleheader Opener

Triston Casas led the Boston Red Sox to an 8-1 victory over the Minnesota Twins in the first game of a doubleheader on Sunday, hitting three home runs and driving in seven runs. This marked a career-high for both home runs and RBIs in a single game for Casas. Red Sox manager Alex Cora was ejected in the first inning following an obstruction call, but Boston's Nick Pivetta pitched five solid innings, allowing just one unearned run. The Red Sox's offense was further supported by Romy Gonzalez, who also contributed an RBI single. Despite their recent struggles, the Red Sox managed to improve their record to 77-78, while the Twins, vying for a wild-card spot, have lost 12 of their last 18 games. Casas' performance was a bright spot in a season impacted by injury, showcasing his potential as a key player for the team.
