Randal Grichuk left one potent lineup for another.

In the meantime, he remembered how to do damage at the plate himself in a way he wasn't doing for the New York Yankees.

But with the surprisingly powerful Chicago White Sox, Grichuk looks right at home.

That included a clutch three-run double to clear the bases on Thursday afternoon, which continued an incredible stretch.

After Grichuk was putrid with the Yanks, he's been pivotal with the White Sox:

Grichuk seems unlikely to stay this hot, but he also is a better hitter than he showed with the Yankees. He'll likely settle somewhere in the middle.

The Yanks had hoped for this kind of production from Grichuk in a short-side platoon role. In a lineup full of left-handed bats, they wanted the veteran righty to hit against opposing southpaws.

He didn't produce at all, though, and so the Yankees moved on.

The White Sox don't have a lot of names in their lineup that casual MLB fans would recognize, but they're raking, and Grichuk has joined in the party.

They're certainly having a good time in the black and white pinstripes that the White Sox rock.
