Andrew Benintendi has been a defensive stud throughout the postseason. In the fifth inning of Game 2 of the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers, he struck again.
It looked as though Brian Dozier would lead the inning off with a double. But at the last minute, Benintendi leaped and hauled the ball in right in front of the Green Monster. His form was made for the ballet.
Benintendi LEPT FOR IT
