Motter went 2-for-3 with an RBI on a fielder's choice and another on a double in Thursday's 9-2 Cactus League victory over the Royals. He also scored once and walked.
Motter raised his spring average to .321 with the performance, which also marked his second two-RBI game over the last three. The versatile 27-year-old is standing out with his efforts at the plate in recent games, and his offense, if it endures, could help him gain separation from Shawn O'Malley and Mike Freeman, fellow candidates for a utility role.
