| Benny Ballgame |
After a forced respite at the end of last month,
Andrew Benintendi is clearly sending a message to Manager
John Farrell:
"I'm allergic to pine!". In the three-game Yankee series alone,
Benny Ballgame went 5-13, with 3 HRs and 9 RBIs—including the extra-innings game-winning hit on Sunday night. Impressed? Let's look at his performance during August
as a whole. In nine games so far this month, Benintendi is hitting
.457, with an on-base percentage of .524, a slugging percentage of .886 and an OPS of 1.410. He's hit 4 HRs and knocked in 12 runs. Oh, and he's stolen 5 bases. Not a bad two weeks! The Sox left-fielder leads the team this month in: hits, average, HRs, RBIs, BA, SB, OBP, SLG and OPS. The kid kinda has the edge on being named
FenwayNation's August Player Of The Month.
