"Andrew Benintendi's first home run got the White Sox going on Tuesday at Target Field, and his second capped off a big night for the offense in a 12-3 win over the Minnesota Twins. Benintendi finished the night 4-for-5 with two home runs, five RBIs and three runs scored. That marked his season-high in RBI and tied his season-high in hits, home runs and runs scored. It also raised his batting average to .245, the highest it's been since June 20."
"In the second inning, Benintendi tied the game at one run apiece as he golfed a low and inside slider 398 feet to right field for a solo home run. He drove an outside changeup to the opposite field for a line drive single in the sixth, giving the White Sox a 4-3 lead. And to remove all doubt regarding the game's outcome, he slugged a sweeper over the heart of the plate 406 feet to right center field for a three-run home run, sealing the 12-3 victory. That brought Benintendi to 17 home runs on the season, trailing Lenyn Sosa by two for the team lead. With 54, he's also eight shy of Sosa for the team lead in RBI."
Andrew Benintendi delivered a 4-for-5 night with two home runs, five RBIs and three runs scored in a 12-3 win at Target Field. His second-inning solo homer and a three-run, 406-foot blast later in the game supplied the offense and sealed the victory. The performance tied and set season highs in multiple categories and raised his batting average to .245, the highest since June 20. Benintendi now has 17 home runs and 54 RBIs, trailing teammate Lenyn Sosa in both categories. He went 12-for-31 (.387) during the recent 10-game homestand, and manager Will Venable noted opposite-field hits and improved swing consistency as signs of a resurgence.
