NEW YORK — As Red Sox left fielder Andrew Benintendi toweled off in Yankee Stadium’s swanky visitors’ clubhouse, he looked up and grinned. The TVs that hang from the ceiling in a jumbotron-like formation were showing replays from the game that ended minutes before, in which Boston crushed New York in the Bronx, 16-1.
Benintendi had been on fire. He hit a bases-clearing double in the fourth inning and ended the game with two runs, three RBIs, two walks, and one stolen base. He shook his head and smiled again as he toweled off, turning back to face his locker.
