Tallies three hits in win Hays went 3-for-5 with one RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in Sunday's 6-1 victory over the Diamondbacks.

Impact With this performance, the veteran outfielder notched his fifth contest with three or more hits this season.

Despite not homering since July 18 -- his first game after the All-Star break -- the 30-year-old still sports a solid .265/.320/.444 slash line in 325 total plate appearances.

Doubles, scores twice in rout Hays went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk, one RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 8-0 win over the Phillies.

Impact Hays scored the game's first run in the fourth inning before sparking a three-run sixth with an RBI double. It was a much-needed effort for the 30-year-old, who entered the day just 3-for-33 with a 2:12 BB:K through nine August contests. He's slashing .253/.315/.441 with 10 homers, 45 RBI, 46 runs scored and four steals across 289 plate appearances this season and appears to be in a timeshare unless he can deliver more consistent production.
