Hayes went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a sacrifice fly during Saturday's 6-5 extra-innings loss to the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
The third baseman ended Quinn Priester's shutout effort by going deep to left field in the sixth inning, and Hayes added another run in the 11th on a sacrifice fly. He's struggled at the plate since being acquired by the Reds from the Pirates in late July, but Hayes has recorded a hit in four of his last six games while going 6-for-17 (.353) over that span.

Hayes went 1-for-5 with a three-run homer in Thursday's 12-11 loss to Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
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 last homer came on June 10, is slashing .235/.278/.297 with 39 RBI, 35 runs scored and 10 stolen bases. 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.

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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Hayes went 1-for-4 with two RBI in Monday's 7-0 win against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old stretched Pittsburgh's lead to 6-0 when he ripped a two-RBI single off St. Louis starter Erick Fedde in the fifth inning. The hit caps a solid June during which Hayes hit .301 (25-for-83) with a homer, three steals, 12 runs scored and 11 RBI in 23 total games. Through 311 total plate appearances, the third baseman is slashing .246/.297/.304 with two homers, nine steals, 27 runs scored and 29 RBI.
