Lile went 3-for-6 with a solo home run, a second RBI, a stolen base and two total runs scored in Friday's 14-1 win over the Diamondbacks.
Lile has gone 6-for-17 over the first four games of June. His homer Friday ended a stretch of nine contests without an extra-base hit, in which he went 5-for-34 (.147) with two RBI. While the bat hasn't been all that consistent, Lile is gaining playing time in left field, pushing Dylan Crews and Jacob Young to compete for one spot in the lineup most of the time. Lile is batting .256 with a .725 OPS, eight homers, 30 RBI, 38 runs scored, five steals, 15 doubles and one triple through 63 games this year.

Rotowire
Lile went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Wednesday's 8-7 extra-inning win over the Reds.

Rotowire
Lile went 3-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI in Tuesday's 10-4 win over the Reds.
The 23-year-old outfielder launched a solo shot off Brady Singer in the fourth inning before adding a three-run homer off Luis Mey in the fifth. The big night snapped a 16-game power drought for Lile in which he was batting just .200 (11-for-55) with four doubles. On the season, Lile's slashing a somewhat disappointing .264/.331/.423 with five long balls, two steals, 19 RBI and 26 runs, but he may be turning things around -- he's hit safely in five straight games and has extra-base hits in three straight.

Lile has hit safely in eight of his last 10 outings as well, picking up multiple knocks on five occasions to boost his season slash line to .282/.333/.437.
