Espinal drew praise from Dodgers manager Dave Roberts earlier in camp and continues to fortify his case for a spot on Los Angeles’ season-opening roster as a utility infielder. The 31-year-old veteran fell out of favor with the Reds last year but has looked rejuvenated this spring. There’s a chance he beats out prospect Alex Freeland for a spot on the Dodgers bench, especially if he keeps tearing the cover off the ball.

Espinal came through with a run-scoring single off of Carson Seymour in the third inning that briefly tied the game at 2-2. He has the opportunity to compete for the team’s starting job at second base to open the season with Tommy Edman (ankle) heading to the injured list. It’s going to take a very strong camp for him to overcome Hyeseong Kim for that spot though.

Espinal is a tough guy to downgrade from, but the Reds found a way. The utilityman had started 24 straight games since the second game of a doubleheader on Apr. 30. The first four of those saw him go 9-for-15 with five RBI. The last 20 saw him go 14-for-77 with two RBI. He’s hit .191/.255/.213 in 12 games since the Reds moved up him to the second spot in the lineup.
