Randal Grichuk News: Enters mid-game, homers

Grichuk went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 7-1 win over Kansas City.

Grichuk entered mid-game, pinch hitting for Pavin Smith when a lefty reliever entered the game, and he served as the designated hitter for the remainder of the game. His two-run shot in the eighth inning looked like a standup inside-the-park homer, but a replay confirmed the ball barely cleared the fence and hit a chair in the picnic area in right-center. It was Grichuk's fifth home run in 59 games.
