Chris Gasper explains why he thinks the Red Sox are calling up their top prospects this month as a way to finish the season on a positive note and take heat off of ownership and Chaim Bloom after a disappointing year.
The Triston Casas era has officially begun.
The Boston Red Sox' prized prospect notched the first home run of his MLB career during the second inning of Tuesday's game at Tropicana Field. He worked a full count against Rays starter J.T. Chargois before belting a two-run shot to right field.

Casas, the No. 2 ranked prospect in the Red Sox system, made his big-league debut on Sunday vs. the Texas Rangers. The 22-year-old first baseman collected his first MLB hit in a 1-for-4 day at the plate.
In 72 games this season with Triple-A Worcester, Casas slashes .273/.382/.481 with 11 homers and 38 RBI.
