Andrew Benintendi Clubs Go-Ahead Homer
6 years agoBoston Red Sox left fielder Andrew Benintendi had just one hit in six at-bats, but it was a go-ahead home run in the 12th inning of a 2-1 win over Baltimore on Wednesday. It was the 24-year-old's second homer in a week, and he's now driven in a run in four of his last six games. As Boston's leadoff hitter, Benintendi has a 10.7 walk percentage, which is right in line with his career norm, but he'll need to limit the 1-for-6 games going forward. The Sox welcome Seattle for a three-game weekend series, where they'll face two right-handers before getting lefty Marco Gonzales on Sunday.
