Sal Stewart's 3-run homer helps the Reds rally to beat the Cardinals 5-4
CINCINNATI (AP) --- Sal Stewart hit a three-run home run and the Cincinnati
Reds added runs on a throwing error and an infield hit, rallying for a 5-4 win
over the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday night.
Matt McLain doubled and Elly De La Cruz singled before Stewart stepped to the
plate in the sixth inning with the Reds trailing 2-0. Stewart's 27th homer of
the year traveled 422 feet over the center field wall.
Stewart is the third-fastest Reds players to surpass 100 RBIs since 1920. His
94 RBIs lead the MLB this season.
Leading by a run in the eighth, McLain reached first on a throwing error and
Jose Trevino scored on the play. Dane Myers dropped a run-scoring bunt later in
the inning that stretched the lead to 5-2.
Reds starter Chase Burns struck out eight and allowed two earned runs and six
hits with two walks in five innings. Reliever Sam Moll (2-7) pitched the sixth
inning and earned the win, allowing one hit and a walk with a strikeout.
Nathan Church and Bryan Torres had RBI singles for the Cardinals in the fourth
inning. Jordan Walker hit a two-run home run in the ninth, his 25th, as the
Cardinals closed within a run.
With two outs in the ninth, Jos Fermn doubled and advanced to third on a wild
pitch to Masyn Winn. Winn tapped the ball back to closer Emilio Pagn, who
threw him out at first to end the game. Pagn earned his 16th save.
Cardinals starter Matthew Liberatore (5-11) struck out nine in six innings and
took the loss.
Up next
Cardinals RHP Michael McGreevy (5-9, 3.48 ERA) will start against Reds RHP
Brady Singer (5-11, 4.66) on Thursday.
