Blue Jays’ Santiago Espinal: Productive in Thursday’s start

Espinal went 2-for-4 with a walk, two runs scored and an RBI in Thursday’s rout of the Red Sox.

Getting the nod at third base and hitting eighth, Espinal made a contribution in a 13-1 win that saw every Jays starter collect at least one hit and drive in at least one run. With Lourdes Gurriel (elbow) sidelined and Cavan Biggio seeing more action in the outfield as a result, Espinal and his .320/.370/.422 slash line in 138 plate appearances this season could see an uptick in playing time in the short term.
