Triston Casas had an eventful game in the third game of his Red Sox career even as Boston dropped Tuesday night’s game to the Tampa Bay Rays 8-4.

The first baseman hit his first major league home run off Rays pitcher J.T. Chargois at the top of the second inning. The two-run shot cut the Red Sox’s deficit to one run at the time. The dinger did not come without some drama with the baseball fan who obtained the ball at Tropicana Field.

Jordan Blatner spoke to the Rays’ mascot, DJ Kitty, and a Rays clubhouse manager to try and trade for the ball. He told NESN’s Jahmi Webster he "never thought I’d be in this position."

"I just made them make me an offer and I took what they offered. I'm getting a signed bat by the player who hit it (Triston Casas), and I'm getting a (Xander) Bogaerts signed ball and somebody else, I don't remember who he said," he said.

Blatner added he tried to give Casas the ball back himself but was stopped by Red Sox security and was told officials would come to him.
