Iannetta went 1-for-1 with a game-winning solo home run in the 11th inning to help send the Rockies to a 1-0 victory over the Rays on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran catcher wasn't in the starting lineup for this contest, but he made his one at-bat in extra innings count, cranking a solo shot off Chaz Roe that represented the only run of the game for either team. Iannetta is off to a good start offensively, as he's now 4-for-13 with two home runs and a double so far in 2019.

Iannetta owns a 3-for-27 mark at the plate (.111 average) through his 12 Cactus League appearances entering Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Iannetta typically compensates for low batting averages by working counts and taking walks, but he's only drawn two free passes to date. According to Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post, Iannetta isn't guaranteed a spot on the Rockies' Opening Day roster, though it would be surprising if the 35-year-old was ultimately released given his ample experience and rapport with the pitching staff, attributes that take on greater significance at Coors Field. Iannetta will likely be deployed in a timeshare this season with either Tom Murphy or Tony Wolters, the lone other catchers on the 40-man roster competing for a spot with the big club.
