NEW YORK (Interstat) — Sal Stewart drove in six runs with a double and a sacrifice fly, and the Cincinnati Reds defeated the New York Yankees 10-2 on Saturday afternoon at Yankee Stadium.

The Reds snapped a two-game losing streak and improved to 36-39, while the Yankees fell to 46-29. Andrew Abbott pitched five innings, allowing one run on five hits with six strikeouts to earn his fifth win against four losses. Will Warren took the loss, dropping to 7-2, after allowing two earned runs on eight hits in 5 2/3 innings while striking out eight.

Stewart was the catalyst for a Cincinnati offense that collected 15 hits. The third baseman went 2-for-4 with a pair of doubles, a sacrifice fly and six RBIs. His performance came one day after he went 0-for-4 in a 5-0 loss to the Yankees. Spencer Steer added a three-run home run, his 12th of the season, and finished 1-for-5 with three RBIs.

The Yankees struck first in the bottom of the first inning. Paul Goldschmidt hit a solo home run to right-center field, his 12th of the season, giving New York a 1-0 lead. Goldschmidt went 1-for-5 with the homer and one RBI.

Cincinnati answered in the third inning. With one out, shortstop Edwin Arroyo doubled to right field. Blake Dunn walked, putting runners at first and second. After a lineout, Stewart doubled to left field, scoring both Arroyo and Dunn to give the Reds a 2-1 lead.

The Reds broke the game open in the fifth inning. Arroyo reached on a missed-catch error by first baseman Ben Rice. After a forceout, JJ Bleday doubled to right field, advancing Dunn to third. Stewart then lifted a sacrifice fly to left field, scoring Dunn. Nathaniel Lowe walked, and Steer followed with a three-run home run to left-center field, extending the lead to 6-1.

Cincinnati added four more runs in the eighth inning. Matt McLain singled, and after a forceout, Arroyo singled to put runners at first and second. Dunn singled to load the bases. Bleday struck out, but Stewart cleared the bases with a double to center field, scoring three runs. Dane Myers followed with a double to left field, driving in Stewart for a 10-1 lead.

The Yankees scored a run in the bottom of the eighth. Cody Bellinger singled and Jasson Dominguez singled, putting runners at first and third. Jose Caballero grounded into a forceout, scoring Bellinger, but Dominguez was out at second. Caballero advanced to second on a throwing error by second baseman Edwin Arroyo. The run was unearned.

Abbott worked through the first five innings with efficiency, allowing only the first-inning homer. He stranded two runners in the second inning after a pickoff of Caballero at second base following a stolen base. In the fifth, Abbott escaped a bases-loaded jam by striking out Goldschmidt to end the inning.

Cincinnati’s bullpen shut down the Yankees the rest of the way. Tejay Antone pitched two scoreless innings, allowing no hits and striking out one. Chase Petty pitched a scoreless eighth inning, allowing one hit and striking out one. Brock Burke recorded the final three outs in the ninth, allowing one hit.

The Yankees had eight hits in the game. Goldschmidt’s homer was the only extra-base hit for New York. Ben Rice, Cody Bellinger, Jasson Dominguez, Anthony Volpe, Ali Sanchez and J.C. Escarra each had one hit. The Yankee offense stranded nine runners.

The game lasted 2 hours, 53 minutes in front of an announced crowd of 46,089.

The series continues Sunday at Yankee Stadium. Cincinnati then returns home to face the Milwaukee Brewers for three games starting Monday. The Yankees travel to Detroit for a three-game series beginning Monday.
