The White Sox can use any sort of positive developments they can get, and Andrew Benintendi's second-half surge has provided a welcome jolt of offense to a team that's last in runs and numerous other offensive categories in the major leagues.
All Benintendi has done under contract is experience 101 losses last season and 115 this season going into Tuesday's late game against the Angels. For his part, he hit a walk-off home run against the Athletics Saturday in Chicago and belted two homers in Monday's 8-4 win.
Batting .279/.351/.552 with 13 homers in 53 games since July 14, Benintendi was the team leader in home runs with 19 through Monday, crediting a toe tap at the plate for the turnaround.
Whether Benintendi's rediscovered bat is enough to help the Sox finish the season with an unexpected run of winning baseball is doubtful. The Sox have three games at the Padres this weekend.
