Andrew Benintendi might not look like your stereotypical power hitter, but the Boston Red Sox outfielder has some pop.
The 22-year-old showed off his home run power in the third inning of Friday night’s game against the Minnesota Twins.
Benintendi sat on a hanging changeup from Twins starter Phil Hughes and belted a home run over the center field fence at Target Field, cutting Minnesota’s lead to 2-1.
