Espinosa up four times, but has zero at-bats

Nats SS 18th player since at least 1913 with that line and two RBIs

June 26th, 2016

Danny Espinosa turned in an unusual stat line in the Nationals' 6-5 loss to the Brewers at Miller Park on Saturday. The Washington shortstop made four trips to the plate, but never recorded an official at-bat.
That didn't prevent Espinosa from contributing, however. He drove in two runs via a sacrifice fly and a sacrifice bunt and drew a pair of walks.
Although four plate appearances without an at-bat isn't that unusual -- Espinosa is the fourth to do it this season, and his teammate, Bryce Harper, did it twice in a series against the Cubs in May -- but doing so with two RBIs is. Espinosa is only the 18th player since at least 1913 to make four plate appearances and drive in two runs without an at-bat. He's just the third player to accomplish the feat since 2000.

The last player before Espinosa was the Yankees' Jayson Nix against the Blue Jays on May 17, 2013, at Yankee Stadium. Nix drove in a pair with two sacrifice flies, drew two free passes and also stole a base.
Espinosa's performance Saturday gives him 32 RBIs, good for sixth on the team. He's batting .222/.322/.415 through 73 games.
