CINCINNATI (AP) – Sal Stewart hit a pair of three-run home runs for a career-high six RBIs, Eugenio Suarez and Elly De La Cruz also homered, and the Cincinnati Reds beat the San Francisco Giants 8-3 on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n
The 22-year-old Stewart has 12 career homers, the most by a Reds batter through his first 36 games since Aristedes Aquino hit 15 in 2018-19.<\/p>\n
Stewart is the second-youngest Reds player with six RBIs in a game \u2014 behind De La Cruz, who drove in six on Aug. 23, 2003 at the age of 21.<\/p>\n
Rookie Rhett Lowder (2-1) allowed three runs in 6 2\/3 innings for Cincinnati.<\/p>\n
Former Red Tyler Mahle (0-3) started for San Francisco and allowed eight runs with five walks and four homers in four innings, raising his ERA from 4.30 to 7.23.<\/p>\n
With two runners on in the first, Stewart hit his sixth home run to right-center. Three pitches later, Suarez reached the first row of seats in right to make it 4-0.<\/p>\n
It was Suarez’s 192nd homer as a Red, moving him past Brandon Phillips into 12th place on the franchise’s career list. Suarez had three hits in a game for the first time since rejoining the Reds.<\/p>\n
Daniel Susac’s two-run double in the second inning cut the Giants’ deficit to 4-2.<\/p>\n
Following a pair of two-out walks by Mahle, Stewart launched his team-leading seventh homer to make the score 7-2. It was his first career multi-homer game.<\/p>\n
De La Cruz made it 8-2 in the fourth with his sixth homer of the season, which sailed an estimated 442 feet to center.<\/p>\n
