On base four times Saturday Naylor went 2-for-3 with two walks and two runs scored in Saturday's 9-2 win over the Reds.

Impact The 23-year-old continues to string together hits, going 13-for-40 (.325) over his last 11 games with two homers, six RBI and eight runs, but the walks were a pleasant surprise as Naylor had drawn only four in 28 games on the season coming into Saturday. The hot streak has pushed his slash line up to .265/.312/.412 as he looks to give the Cleveland outfield a consistent threat it's been lacking in recent years.

Stuffs stat sheet Wednesday Naylor went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 5-4 win over Kansas City.

Impact Naylor reached on an error in the fifth inning and eventually got to third base on his first stolen base of the season. He picked up an RBI with a groundout in the sixth inning, then followed up with a solo shot in the ninth. Naylor has gone 11-for-30 (.367) with two homers, six RBI and six runs scored in his last eight games. He's slashing .272/.309/.435 through 97 plate appearances this season. As long as he continues to play well, manager Terry Francona will likely find a spot for his bat in the lineup.

Clubs first homer Naylor went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, a home run and three RBI in Monday's 8-6 win over the Royals.

Impact His two-run blast off Jakob Junis in the seventh inning proved to be the key hit in the game, giving Cleveland an 8-3 lead. It was Naylor's first homer of the year, but the 23-year-old seems to be finding his rhythm at the plate, going 8-for-22 over the last six games with four doubles in addition to Monday's long ball.
