MINNEAPOLIS — Chicago White Sox left fielder Andrew Benintendi charged in, slipped but still made a catch on a shallow fly to left by Brooks Lee in the first inning Tuesday at Target Field.

“I tried to slow down and my foot slipped out there,” Benintendi said. “It was a little wet out there. Glad my knee didn’t blow up. I was just glad to be able to make the catch. It would have been pretty embarrassing if you drop that one.”

Benintendi found his footing at the plate in the second inning, hitting a solo home run. It was the first of four hits on the night for Benintendi, who later hit a three-run home run.

The Sox finished with four home runs, clobbering the Minnesota Twins 12-3 in front of 11,721 at Target Field.
