After the lineup failed to do much of anything in this afternoon’s game against the Cardinals, the night lineup didn’t fare much better. They managed to smack five hits in the afternoon, and followed that up with five more at night across town against Minnesota. Half of those hits came from one player in Ivan De Jesus Jr., who contributed a double and a single while also knocking in a run. He also made a hell of a leaping catch at second base. De Jesus was brought in on a minor-league contract right before spring, and while he’s not likely to play much of a role in 2018 he is solid break-in-case-of-emergency depth.
