On Tuesday in the Dominican, Jung-Ho Kang couldn't build off his first home run from the day before. He went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts, giving him a .107 average through his first eight games of the winter. He has struck out 13 times in 28 at-bats. Two of his strikeouts on Tuesday came against Onelki Garcia, a 28-year-old lefty who appeared briefly in the majors in 2013 and 2017. The other came against Tyler Jones, who has yet to make his debut in the majors, reaching Triple-A for the first time this season.
Edwin Espinal went 2-for-3 with a walk, before leaving for a pinch-runner in the eighth inning.
