6 years agoCincinnati Reds catcher Tucker Barnhart turned in a huge night at the plate on Friday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Barnhart went 5-for-5 on the evening with a triple, a homer, and two RBI, although it wasn't enough as the Reds lost 8-4. Barnhart is now batting .249 with 10 homers, three triples, 50 runs, and 46 RBI. While his batting average is nothing special, Barnhart continues to be productive enough in fantasy to warrant a roster spot in deeper leagues. He will look to stay hot on Saturday against Pirates right-hander Jameson Taillon.--Matt T - RotoBaller
