The Los Angeles Angels selected Randal Grichuk one spot before Mike Trout in the first round of the 2009 draft.

More than 14 years later, Grichuk officially made a contribution for the big-league club.

The Angels will look to defeat the host Atlanta Braves on Tuesday night in the middle contest of a three-game series, one day after Grichuk homered in his debut to help Los Angeles post a 4-1 victory.

Grichuk and C.J. Cron were acquired from the Colorado Rockies on Sunday night as the Angels attempt to make a run at their first postseason berth since 2014.
