Austin Barnes Hits Fifth Homer
3 years agoLos Angeles Dodgers backup catcher Austin Barnes went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Thursday's victory versus the San Diego Padres. Starting catcher Will Smith homered in the previous two games and it must've rubbed off on his teammate. Barnes has been a serviceable backup for the Dodgers, but can remain on the waiver wire with him only receiving one or two starts a week. He is now hitting .218 with five home runs and 19 RBI.
