Barnhart went 2-for-3 with a double and an RBI in Thursday's loss to the Athletics.
Barnhart isn't a flashy player, but he's now batting .284 this season, though he only has three RBI in 23 games. He's at least hitting better than fellow backstop Eric Haase, who's stuck with a .140 batting average. That should keep Barnhart in the lineup as the team's catcher most days.
