EDGE Analysis
The veteran outfielder took Jameson Taillon deep in the fifth inning and Drew Smyly deep in the seventh, leading a rally from an early 7-0 deficit that fell just short. Benintendi has suddenly found his power stroke -- after managing only eight homers in his first 90 games this season, he's gone yard five times in his last five contests, batting .400 (8-for-20) over that hot streak with nine RBI.
