TORONTO – Starting a slumping hitter against Chris Sale to get him going is pretty counterintuitive, yet there was Randal Grichuk out in right field Thursday night, looking to use a date against one of baseball’s best starters as a catalyst out of his funk.
There was some method to manager John Gibbons’ madness, as back on June 30, 2015, while the spindly-limbed lefty was still with the Chicago White Sox, Grichuk enjoyed a 3-for-4 day with a home run against him, and maybe, the thinking went, it might happen again.
