Taiwan’s Yu Chang on Saturday hit one of the Boston Red Sox’s four home runs off the New York Mets’ Max Scherzer in their 8-6 victory.
Red Sox rookie Triston Casas hit two of the home runs that helped salvage a split, after Boston lost the day game 5-4.
“He’s in a great place,” Cora said after Casas had four hits in a doubleheader, before his two home runs off Scherzer. “I know a lot of people were down on him early on, but this is the big leagues. You don’t come here and dominate.”
Casas had his first career multihomer game, and Chang and Jarren Duran also went deep off Scherzer. It was the first time the three-time Cy Young winner has allowed four homers in an outing since his 2021 season debut.
Masataka Yoshida had three hits in the night game, and Justin Turner’ homered to give the Red Sox an 8-3 lead. Pete Alonso had four hits on the day, including a ninth-inning triple in the night game as New York scored three to cut the deficit to 8-6 before Kenley Jansen got pinch hitter Daniel Vogelbach on a popup against the side wall in left to snap Boston’s three-game losing streak and earn his 21st save.
A healthy portion of the two sellout crowds was rooting for the visitors, trying to drown out the “let’s go Red Sox” chants with shouts of “let’s go Mets.” Unable to settle things, both sides joined together for a familiar chant razzing the last-place New York Yankees.
Chang on Thursday made MLB history by playing his 221st game, the most by a player born in Taiwan.
In Ohio, the Arizona Diamondbacks’ Taiwanese-American outfielder Corbin Carroll hit his 20th homer of the season in the ninth inning against the Cincinnati Reds’ Alexis Diaz.
The grand slam by the rookie was not enough to keep the Reds from winning 4-2 for their fourth straight victory.
