One of the few bright spots for the White Sox has been their home run production, as they are 17th in the league in homers, but they will need to start finding ways to put more runs on the board.</p>

<p>Andrew Benintendi comes into the game as the team's leading RBI man, but he has really struggled at the plate of late, going just 3/23 in his last six games. Eloy Jimenez is hitting just .220 for the season, but his four homers are the most on the team.
