Narvaez went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo home run in a loss to the Red Sox on Sunday.

The veteran backstop already has 11 extra-base hits (four doubles, seven homers) on the campaign as well, and his improved plate discipline has led to a career-best 4.14 pitches per plate appearance, along with a solid 11.4 walk rate.
