(4/26/13) Diamondbacks backup catcher Wil Nieves was 3 for 3 and drove in a run for the second-straight game during a 3-2 victory over Colorado Thursday night. Nieves, who also had the game-winning sacrifice fly Wednesday, has not had an RBI in consecutive games since Aug. 24-25, 2009, while with the Nationals.

The 35-year-old has started just three games this season but has had a hit in each for a .500 batting average. He also has three RBI; starting catcher Miguel Montero has just 10 in 21 games.

by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(2/13/13) Diamondbacks catchers Wil Nieves and Rod Barajas are battling in spring training to earn the backup job for the team behind Miguel Montero, reports MLB.com. With Montero expected to miss time to play in the World Baseball Classic, that leaves plenty of competition for the spot for Nieves and Barajas. "It's wide open," manager Kirk Gibson said.
