With the Milwaukee Brewers in town for a three-game series, Friday marked former Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Yasmani Grandal’s first time back at Dodger Stadium in his new uniform.
Grandal, who spent the previous four seasons with the Dodgers, signed a one-year contract with the Brewers over the offseason after declining a qualifying offer from Los Angeles.
The switch-hitting backstop certainly made the most of his return, reaching base four times in five plate appearances while driving in three RBI. His night was capped off with a go-ahead, two-run home run in the fifth inning that gave the Brewers a 6-5 lead to which they would not relinquish.
