Moreno was scratched Tuesday due to soreness in his side, and the Diamondbacks will have him begin Wednesday’s contest on the bench again. He was available off the bench Tuesday, so there’s a chance he’ll be available for this one as well. In the meantime, Jose Herrera will start behind the plate.

Suárez absolutely shellacked a pitch from Dustin May out for a solo homer, and it traveled an estimated 455 feet. That’s the 12th homer of the season for the slugger, and he’s been able to drive in 27 runs; putting him on pace for another 100-RBI season.

Smith was just 1-for-19 in the month of May coming into Saturday’s game, but broke out of that funk in a nice way. His double in the ninth extended the D-Backs’ lead to 3-0, and gave him 10 RBI over 37 games played. Even with his scuffles in May, he’s still hitting .302/.442/.531 over 96 at-bats.

Nelson worked a scoreless eighth, and the D-Backs let the right-hander finish the job for his first save of the year. He threw 11-of-16 pitches for strikes and looked the part while keeping the Dodgers off the bases during those two frames, and even with a 5.01 ERA, it’s possible the D-Backs will turn to him again for save chances.

Caratini deserves better than being the backup to a quality catcher in Yainer Diaz, but not enough teams realized it when he was a free agent two winters ago. The Astros used both guys tonight, with Diaz going 2-for-4 with two RBI as a DH. Caratini is batting .255/.356/.431 in 59 plate appearances in his limited role.

The Red Sox are trying to ease Connor Wong back into action as he returns from a broken finger, but the truth is that Narváez deserves to be the team’s starting catcher right now. He’s the better defender of the two, and he’s done a nice job offensively in hitting .245/.304/.426 with four homers and 13 RBI in 102 plate appearances.

He came through in a big spot, taking Fernando Cruz deep to center field for a three-run blast to put the A’s ahead. Langeliers then extended the lead with a two-run double in the ninth. The 27-year-old catcher is slashing .248/.308/.473 with eight homers and 22 RBI over 143 plate appearances. Langeliers has made tremendous strides in his contact skills, cutting his strikeout rate to an excellent 14.7 percent.
