Benson batted leadoff for the third time in the last five games and went 0-for-3 in Sunday's 10-3 loss to Cleveland.
The struggles of TJ Friedl (.182 batting average) has forced Cincinnati manager Terry Francona to seek other solutions at leadoff. Either Benson or Dane Myers has hit atop the order the last five games. Benson's .176 batting average doesn't scream leadoff batter, but his ability to get on base (17.4 percent walk rate) makes him a better option than Friedl at this time. Benson has just one hit over his last 19 at-bats.
