Will Benson - Ends homer drought Benson went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Phillies. Impact Benson was given a rare start against a lefty, filling in at center field for a resting TJ Friedl. He gave the Reds a lead with a fifth-inning home run, his seventh of the season and first 23 games. Benson has largely struggled produce since an explosive stretch in mid-May, but that bat is showing recently signs of life. He's hit safely in six of his last seven games (five starts), going 8-for-21 (.381) with one double, one homer and three RBI.
