SARASOTA, Fla. -- The swing that resulted in a moonshot home run that landed some 50 feet or so behind the 374 marker on the right-center field wall at Ed Smith Stadium on Sunday wasn’t even one of Andrew Benintendi’s best this spring.
It paled in comparison to a juicy swing he put on a double off Bud Norris in the Red Sox’ game against the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday. And considering he’s 7-for-14 with two homers and at least one hit in each of the five games he’s played this spring, there have been plenty of pretty swings to choose from.
