Dylan Crews grand slam highlights former LSU star’s fourth minor league appearance

Entering Tuesday night’s game, Crews had appeared in three games in the minor leagues, seeing 13 at-bats. He had registered four hits in those at-bats, compiling a .308 batting average with a double and a home run.

But he had just one RBI prior to the Dylan Crews grand slam on Tuesday evening.
