Cincinnati Reds snap five-game losing streak with 11th‑inning homer against San Diego Padres

Sal Stewart Reds Padres 11th‑inning homer losing streak

Rookie Sal Stewart delivered a tiebreaking two‑run homer in the 11th inning, lifting the Cincinnati Reds to a 5‑3 win over the San Diego Padres and ending a five‑game losing streak. The homer, Stewart’s 13th of the season, came off Yuki Matsui after the Reds had taken a 3‑2 lead in the 10th on an Eugenio Suárez RBI double. Chase Burns pitched six strong innings for Cincinnati, and Tejay Antone recorded the win with Zach Maxwell earning his first career save.

The victory came as the series continued, with the Padres placing shortstop Xander Bogaerts on paternity leave and recalling infielder Will Wagner. Both teams dealt with numerous injuries on their rosters, and the win gave the Reds a brief lift in an otherwise challenging stretch of the season.
