The Chicago White Sox broke a struggling trend by defeating the New York Mets 9-4, showcasing improved performance with runners in scoring position. Key contributions came from Andrew Benintendi, who not only drove in two runs early on but also added a triple and a home run later in the game. The victory marked a positive end to the three-game series at Citi Field, where the Sox's collective effort led to 12 hits against a competitive Mets team. Manager Will Venable praised the team's persistent battle at the plate throughout the game.
"That was huge, set the tone for us," manager Will Venable said about Benintendi's early run production.
"We've been missing that big hit with runners in scoring position, guys continue to battle and it paid off for (Benintendi) and the group today," Venable commented on the team's performance.
"It was good to get a lead early and keep scoring throughout the game," Benintendi stated, highlighting the importance of maintaining pressure on the opposing team.
"That's a team that's got World Series aspirations over there. Thought we played them tight all three days," Tauchman reflected on the competitive nature of the series against the Mets.
