Mitch Haniger - Rare multi-hit effort SaturdayHaniger went 2-for-2 with a run in a loss to the Pirates on Saturday before being removed from the game in the fourth inning with a quadriceps injury.ImpactHaniger's multi-hit effort was his first since Aug. 3. The veteran outfielder has started to show some signs of climbing out of his season-long funk this month, now carrying a .256 average and .729 OPS across 41 August plate appearances, albeit while striking out at an elevated 34.1 percent clip over that span. Haniger's timely hitting has seen an uptick during the sample, however, as he's delivered eight RBI with the help of a pair of home runs.
