You may have noticed that Andrew Benintendi‘s swing looked a bit different when he stepped to the plate in Tampa Bay on Monday. He made some adjustments that led to a three-hit performance, fueling the Boston Red Sox to a desperately needed win over the Rays.
Benintendi’s night began by dropping a base hit in front of the right fielder. It wouldn’t lead to any damage on the scoreboard but it was an encouraging sign from a hitter snapping a 0-for-9 slump over his previous three games.
One inning later, Benintendi drilled a hanging breaking ball 394 feet for his eighth home run of the season.
