Espinal and Mookie Betts hit back-to-back homers off Robbie Ray in the third inning. Espinal went 451 plate appearances in between homers (417 as a Red, 34 as a Dodger), with his last coming on Aug. 30, 2024. He survived the return of Betts from the IL this week, but there's the chance the Dodgers could give him the boot when Enrique Hernandez is activated, which will likely happen on May 23. If he survives over Hyeseong Kim then, he'd still be in line to go if everyone is healthy once Tommy Edman returns, assuming that Tommy Edman returns.
