Andrew Benintendi (4 RBIs), White Sox overwhelm Mets

By MLB Premium News May 28, 2025 | 10:42 PM

Andrew Benintendi fell a double shy of the cycle and drove in a season-high four runs as the Chicago White Sox stopped a six-game road losing streak with a 9-4 victory over the New York Mets on Wednesday afternoon.
Benintendi entered the game 1-for-10 over his past three games but helped the White Sox get an early five-run lead off New York starter Griffin Canning before putting the game away late.
The veteran outfielder followed a double by Miguel Vargas in the first inning with a two-run single to center field. Benintendi gave the White Sox a 6-3 lead with an RBI triple in the sixth off Brandon Waddell and scored when Lenyn Sosa followed with a single.
Benintendi got his third hit with his first homer since April 29. It was the third time Benintendi drove in at least four runs since joining the White Sox as a free agent following the 2022 season
Mike Tauchman hit a two-run double in the second and reached three times as the White Sox stopped a three-game overall losing streak. Sosa tied a career high with three hits and scored on a groundout by Josh Rojas in the third.
Michael A. Taylor added a sacrifice fly in the seventh as the White Sox finished with 12 hits.
New York’s Mark Vientos hit a three-run homer in the third off Chicago rookie starter Shane Smith, but the Mets committed consecutive fielding errors in the second ahead of Tauchman’s double and saw a four-game winning streak stopped. Pete Alonso added an RBI double in the ninth before Vientos struck out to end the lengthy contest.
New York slugger Juan Soto went 0-for-4, dropping his average to .224. Soto heard noticeable boos after striking out in the fifth and grounding out in the seventh.
Smith allowed Vientos’ homer among two hits but walked five in 3 2/2 innings. Brandon Eisert (2-0) followed Smith with four outs and was awarded the win.
The White Sox lost reliever Miguel Castro to an apparent leg injury in the ninth when he slipped covering first base on a groundout by Soto.
After his previous start on Friday was stopped by a rain delay against the Los Angeles Dodgers, Canning allowed five runs (three earned) on four hits and four walks with three strikeouts in three innings.
