Blasts 12th homer Grandal went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Friday's 9-3 loss to Seattle.
Impact Grandal got the White Sox on the board in the second inning with his 12th long ball of the season. The 32-year-old served as the designated hitter Friday -- he's seen a slight majority of the playing time behind the dish, but the White Sox have preferred to keep his bat in the lineup when Zack Collins is the catcher. Grandal is slashing just .175/.385/.419 with 30 RBI and 35 runs scored through 219 plate appearances.

Socks two-run shot Grandal went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Thursday's win over the Blue Jays.
Impact Grandal launched his 10th homer of the season in the bottom of the first inning, but he was largely ineffectual the rest of the way. The star catcher has hit safely in five of the White Sox's last seven games and could be close to turning things around, but his miserable BABIP translates to a meager .160 average. Grandal has produced across the board excluding the low batting average, though, as evidenced by an .829 OPS that ranks sixth in baseball among catchers with at least 40 games played.

Rescues win Grandal went 2-for-2 with two walks, two solo home runs and a third run scored in Friday's 9-8 win over the Tigers.
Impact Grandal homered in the second inning to put Chicago on the board, then rescued the team in the seventh with a game-tying blast after the White Sox's bullpen surrendered a five-run lead in the top half of the inning. That set the stage for Yermin Mercedes' walkoff single. Grandal's belted three homers over the last two days, giving him nine for the season. The catcher is batting .154 with a miserable .123 BABIP. He's been hitting the ball hard -- 97th percentile per Baseball Savant -- but right at defenders.
