Red Sox Notes: Andrew Benintendi Turns In Three-Hit Night Vs. Yankees
Share this: BOSTON — It turns out this Andrew Benintendi kid is pretty good after all. The Red Sox won a tough game Tuesday against the New York Yankees behind a stellar effort from starter Rick Porcello, but on the other side of the ball, all eyes were on Benintendi. The 22-year-old left fielder made his Fenway Park debut, and he certainly put on a show. Benintendi went 3-for-3 with an RBI, two runs and a controversial double that was ruled a home run and then overturned after a crew chief review.

by Zack Cox on Tue, Aug 9, 2016 at 4:48PM 2,163 Share this: FOXBORO, Mass. — The New England Patriots play against one of the best quarterbacks of the last two decades every day in practice. On Tuesday, they got to square off against another — and they did not fare particularly well against him. New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees completed 21 of 25 passes in 11-on-11 drills against the Patriots’ defense during the first of the teams’ two scheduled joint practices.
