A former member of the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns had a good night, despite his team coming out on the shirt side of the scoreboard.

Los Angeles Angels catcher Jonathan Lucroy hit his fifth home run of the season, in a 10-3 loss to the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday night.

Lucroy also doubled in the 9th inning, driving home his second run of the contest.

In the 4th inning, Lucroy showed off his defensive abilities, making a terrific grab inside of the dugout.

A member of the UL baseball squad from 2005-2007, before being drafted by the Brewers in the third round of the 2007 amateur entry draft, Lucroy signed with the Angels as a free agent in the offseason.

A native of Eustis, Florida, Lucroy hit .241 last season for the Oakland A's, to go along with four home runs and 51 runs batted in.

Lucroy is off to a nice start this season, hitting .276 with five homers and 16 runs batted in.

The 32-year old Lucroy has also played for the Brewers, Rangers, Rockies, and A's.

A 2016 MLB All-Star, Lucroy has compiled a .277 career average in 9 seasons, to go along with 104 homers and 523 runs batted in.
