BOSTON — Instant reactions from a gritty 6-1 win for the Red Sox (18-16) in which Triston Casas was stretchered off after suffering what could be a serious left leg injury:
1) Results aside, the story of Friday night is Casas, who once again looks like he’s headed for a prolonged absence due to injury. It was hard to tell exactly what happened as part of the gnarly collision that sent him out of the game — and into an ambulance on a stretcher — in the second inning, but the fact he was unable to get up on his own as well as his body language made it seem like he was very concerned about what happened.
