Here’s what people have been saying:
@savemeishbia: “Randal Grichuk just saved our season and that’s not an exaggeration. Biggest hit since Luery Garcia HR in 2021, I mean 2 outs in the top of 9th go ahead home run this is what kids dream of doing while playing in the backyard”
Bob Nightengale: “Randal Grichuk with 2-out, game-winning HR to end the Chicago White Sox losing streak, and perhaps save their season.”
Chuck Garfien: “Randal Grichuk’s homer might have saved the White Sox season. But don’t forget Kyle Teel coming back from an 0-2 count to draw a walk. Brenton Doyle was safe at second on steal attempt because Cardinals shortstop Masyn Winn dropped the ball. Build Grichuk a statue.”
Scott Merkin: “Randal Grichuk with arguably the biggest hit of the year for the White Sox. A home run to right gives the White Sox a 6-5 lead–two strikes, two outs.”
Grichuk’s Time With The Jays
Grichuk spent four years with the Blue Jays during the middle of his career.
He hit 31 home runs during the 2019 season (which is a career-high).
The 35-year-old also appeared in two MLB playoff games for the Blue Jays in 2020.
