"It was the final shot, a three-run homer by Rece Hinds off Dodgers pitcher Jordan Weems, that doomed the Boys in Blue, who entered the final frame with a 13-10 lead. Weems, however, was unable to get the save - or even a single out."
"Dodgers pitcher Cole Irvin gave up a pair of first-inning home runs, two-run shots each by Elly De La Cruz and Will Benson, then another two-run shot by Matt McLain in the second. Irvin ultimately gave up six earned runs on six hits through three innings of work."
"Loss aside, Dodgers fans can feel confident in seeing Santiago Espinal dominate at the plate. Manager Dave Roberts said earlier Thursday that he appears to be set to get a spot on the Opening Day roster, and though Espinal has struggled at the plate in the past, that certainly was not the case on Thursday."
The Cincinnati Reds defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 14-13 in a spring training game highlighted by offensive fireworks from both teams. The Reds hit five home runs, including a decisive three-run shot by Rece Hinds in the ninth inning off Dodgers pitcher Jordan Weems. Dodgers pitcher Cole Irvin struggled early, allowing six earned runs on six hits through three innings, including two-run homers by Elly De La Cruz, Will Benson, and Matt McLain. The Dodgers' offense was led by Santiago Espinal, who hit two home runs and drove in six runs. Despite the loss, Espinal's strong performance throughout spring training positions him for the Opening Day roster, batting .625 with 10 hits and eight RBIs.
