SAN DIEGO (AP) --- Cincinnati rookie Sal Stewart hit a tiebreaking two-run
homer in the 11th inning and the Reds snapped their five-game losing streak
with a 5-3 victory over the San Diego Padres on Tuesday night.
The 22-year-old Stewart drove his 13th homer to center field off Yuki Matsui
(0-1) and then gleefully celebrated all the way around the bases. The Reds hung
on for just their third win in 12 games after their bullpen escaped the last of
several late jams.
Both teams scored in the 10th. Eugenio Surez led off with an RBI double that
ended his 2-for-26 slump for Cincinnati, but Samad Taylor drove an RBI single
up the middle for the Padres.
Tejay Antone (1-0) got out of the 10th one night after his rough outing in the
Reds' 6-2 loss. Zach Maxwell got three straight outs in the 11th, earning his
first career save.
Fernando Tatis Jr. had four hits and scored the 500th run of his career for the
Padres, who have lost 12 of 15 after stranding 13 runners --- including seven
between the sixth and ninth innings. Jackson Merrill had an early RBI triple
for San Diego, which still hasn't won back-to-back games since May 22-23.
The Padres loaded the bases with one out in the ninth on three singles, but Sam
Moll struck out Manny Machado and Gavin Sheets.
Lucas Giolito issued five walks while only getting through four innings for the
Padres. The veteran yielded just two singles and one earned run, but committed
an error that allowed another run.
Chase Burns pitched six-hit ball into the sixth for Cincinnati, striking out
seven.
Xander Bogaerts missed his bobblehead night at Petco Park because he was
welcoming a much more important miniature version of himself: He went on
paternity leave.
Up next
Michael King (4-5, 3.41 ERA) starts the Padres' homestand finale Wednesday
against the Reds' Brady Singer (2-6, 5.89).
