Andrew Benintendi of the Chicago White Sox hit a home run off left-handed pitcher Robert Gasser, marking his fourth home run of the season. Benintendi, who had been struggling against left-handers with a .077 batting average (3-for-39), connected on an 0-2 pitch to give the White Sox a 1-0 lead in the third inning. Benintendi was 1-for-1 in June. However, Benintendi left the game shortly after due to left Achilles tendinitis and has been placed on the 10-day injured list. Oscar Colás has been recalled from Triple-A to replace him. The White Sox are currently on a 10-game losing streak.
Benintendi on his injury: "This had no effect on my hitting or anything like that. Just not swinging the bat well. I was hot in June (he smiles), so hopefully we can get back to it." Benintendi was 1-for-1 with a home run in June.

Benintendi did not use sore Achilles as excuse for his bad start. Probably affected jumps in OF more than anything. He homered yesterday. “I was hot in June,” he said.
