Red Sox World Series: Andrew Benintendi’s 4-hit performance fuels Game 1 victory

Andrew Benintendi was in the middle of the action when the Boston Red Sox put up eight runs in Game 1 of the World Series, leading the way with four hits.

The 4-for-5 performance makes Benintendi only the third Red Sox player in franchise history to collect 4+ hits in a World Series game, joining Jacoby Ellsbury (2007) and Wally Moses (1946).

Perhaps the most impressive aspect of this accomplishment is that all four hits came against a left-handed pitcher. The first three came off Los Angeles Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw, who previously had only allowed three left-handed hitters to collect 3+ hits against him in a game.
