Sal Stewart's 11th-inning homer lifts Reds over Padres 5-3
Cincinnati Reds ended a five-game skid when rookie Sal Stewart delivered a two-run, 11th-inning home run to defeat the San Diego Padres 5-3 in extra innings. Stewart, in his first major‑league season, hit the decisive homer after a solid five‑at‑bat performance.
The Reds had taken a lead in the seventh and extended it in the eighth, while the Padres attempted a comeback in the ninth and tenth. However, Stewart's clutch blast in the 11th sealed the win.
The victory gives Cincinnati momentum as they look to climb the National League standings.
