Extends hit streak

Hayes went 2-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Saturday's 10-1 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Analyse

Hayes extended his hit streak to seven straight games and has reached base safely in 11 consecutive starts. It's an encouraging stretch for the third baseman, who got off to a slow start after joining the Reds at the trade deadline, batting .167 (5-for-30) over his first nine games in Cincinnati. Over the subsequent 12 contests, Hayes is slashing .378/.465/.649 with seven extra-base hits, three RBI and nine runs scored. While the improvement is welcome, past history suggests Hayes is closer to the hitter he showed during that initial stretch for the Reds.
