Hitting eighth in the lineup, Barney went 2-for-3 with a double, triple and scored a run in Saturday's thrilling win over the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

In Tulowitzki's(quad) absence, it would seem Ryan Goins and Barney would likely platoon at shortstop, as they had been doing at second base prior to Devon Travis' return. But on Saturday, with right-hander Rick Porcello on the mound, manager John Gibbons went with the right-handed Barney. It was just Barney's fifth start at the position in the last five seasons. But, the decision paid off as Barney notched his first game with multiple extra-base hits since July 2014.
