Grichuk muscled a solo homer in the eighth inning and poked an RBI single in the sixth. The 35-year-old came on in the fifth as a pinch hitter for Andrew Benintendi. The long ball off Garrett Acton was only Grichuk's third against a righty this season as he has mostly platooned against lefties, posting a .974 OPS in that split.

Grichuk remains a fixture in the White Sox's lineup against lefties and has been productive with the platoon edge. Across 39 plate appearances in August, he has hit .385 with two homers, eight RBI and eight runs scored. However, his last start against a righty came July 19, and his short-side role limits his fantasy appeal.
