Royals' Alex Rios collects three hits, sends hit streak to eight games

Royals right fielder Alex Rios went 3 for 4 with two doubles, a walk and two runs scored in a 8-4 win over the Indians on Thursday.

The three-hit game extended Rios' hit streak to eight games and he's raised his average 14 points in that span. Along with the average boost, he has two home runs and four doubles in that span as well. In limited time, Rios has put together a pretty nice year, as he has a .265 average with four homers and eight steals in 91 games played this season. It seemed as though Rios had lost most of his fantasy relevancy over recent years, but he still has value in deep formats and in AL-only leagues.
