Andrew Benintendi Makes Chicago White Sox History With Walk-Off, Multi-Home Run GameAndrew Benintendi Makes Chicago White Sox History With Walk-Off, Multi-Home Run Game

The Chicago White Sox won back-to-back games for the first time this season thanks to Andrew Benintendi’s walk-off home run in extra-innings.

The Chicago White Sox are officially winners of back-to-back games for the first time in 2024, and they have outfielder Andrew Benintendi to thank for it.

Chicago was playing host to the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday, having already won the series opener on Friday. The White Sox went down 3-0 early, until Benintendi tied things up with a three-run shot in the bottom of the fourth.

Benintendi added an RBI single in the fifth, but his biggest at-bat of the night came after the Rays staged a comeback to force extra-innings.Andrew Benintendi Makes Chicago White Sox History With Walk-Off, Multi-Home Run Game

The 29-year-old outfielder demolished the first pitch he saw, sending it 401 feet to right-center. Benintendi went yard for the second time in the game, walking it off for the White Sox with a two-run homer.

According to MLB.com’s Sarah Langs, Benintendi became the sixth White Sox player to post a multi-home run game with a walk-off home run since 2010. No one had done so for the franchise since Tyler Flowers in 2014, so Benintendi snapped a 10-year drought with his bomb Saturday.
