Benintendi hits 2nd home of game in 10th, White Sox beat Rays 8
CHICAGO (AP) — Andrew Benintendi hit a two-run home run in the 10th inning for his second homer of the game and the season, giving the Chicago White Sox an 8-7 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday night.
Benintendi had three hits and six RBIs to help Chicago win its second straight and for just the fifth time this season. Chicago’s 5-22 start is its worst in 27 games. Baltimore started 3-24 in 1988.
Benintendi ended it by smacking the first pitch he saw from Phil Maton (0-2) deep over the right-center wall for the first walk-off shot in his nine-year career.
“I was just looking for something up in the zone, something to drive to the outfield,” Benintendi said, “and put a good swing on it.
“I know what’s in the tank as far as what kind of power I have. It just starts with hard contact and swinging at good pitches.”
It was Benintendi’s sixth career multihomer game and the six RBIs matched a career high. The White Sox have won three straight at home, with a seven-game slide on the road in-between.
