Benintendi's first walk-off hit lifts Sox in 12

BOSTON -- For the second straight night, the Red Sox and Phillies were in the mood for some extra-innings drama.

And for the second time in 24 hours, the Red Sox earned their victory in walk-off fashion. In the 12th inning, Andrew Benintendi blasted a game-ending single to right field to score Xander Bogaerts and give the Red Sox a 4-3 win on Tuesday night at rainy Fenway Park.

Benintendi's first career walk-off hit was made possible by a Mitch Moreland single high off of the Green Monster that put Bogaerts in scoring position at third.
