Hayes went 2-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Saturday's 10-1 loss to the Diamondbacks.
Hayes extended a hit streak to seven straight games and has reached base safely 11 consecutive starts. It's an encouraging stretch for the third baseman, who got off to a slow start when he first joined the Reds at the trade deadline. After batting .167 (5-for-30) over his first nine games in Cincinnati, Hayes is slashing .378/.465/.649 with seven extra-base hits, three RBI and nine runs scored over the subsequent 12 contests. While the improvement is welcome, past history suggests Hayes is closer to the hitter he showed during that initial stretch for the Reds.

Reds' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Homers in Reds debut
Rotowire
Hayes went 1-for-5 with a three-run homer in Thursday's 12-11 loss to Atlanta.
After homering just once in 392 plate appearances with the Pirates this year, Hayes went deep in his first game with the Reds, kick-starting Cincinnati's rally in an eight-run eighth inning. Hayes, whose previous homer came June 10, is slashing .235/.278/.297 with 39 RBI, 35 runs scored and 10 stolen bases this season. While Hayes plays excellent defense at third base, he could find himself in a part-time role after the Reds made another trade for Miguel Andujar on Thursday.

Reds' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Shipped to Cincinnati
Rotowire
The Reds acquired Hayes from the Pirates on Wednesday in exchange for shortstop Sammy Stafura, left-hander Taylor Rogers and cash considerations, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
Hayes will greatly improve Cincinnati's defense at third base, as he is arguably the best defender in the game at the hot corner. The 28-year-old's offense is a much bigger question, as he's slashing only .236/.279/.290 with two home runs in 100 games this season and has an underwhelming .254/.307/.369 batting line in his career. Hayes should benefit from a major park upgrade in going from PNC Park to Great American Ball Park.
