Sal Stewart clouted a two-run homer in the 11th inning Tuesday night and the visiting Cincinnati Reds snapped a five-game losing streak with a 5-3 victory over the San Diego Padres.
Yuki Matsui (0-1) retired leadoff man JJ Bleday on a fly ball to right that advanced automatic runner Blake Dunn to third. Stewart then drilled a hanging splitter over the center field wall for his 13th homer of the year.
Tejay Antone (1-0) picked up the win despite allowing a run in the bottom of the 10th. Zach Maxwell earned his first major league save with a 1-2-3 11th.
Cincinnati took a 3-2 lead in its half of the 10th when Eugenio Suarez ripped an RBI double just inside third base. San Diego equalized on a one-out RBI single by Samad Taylor.
The Padres outhit the Reds 12-8 but went 3-for-20 with runners in scoring position and left 13 runners on base. San Diego took its 12th loss in 15 games.
Both starters got a no-decision. Cincinnati's Chase Burns worked 5 1/3 innings, yielding six hits and two runs with two walks and seven strikeouts. San Diego's Lucas Giolito pitched four innings, permitting two hits and two runs, one earned. He walked five and fanned three.
The Reds initiated the scoring in the second inning with a two-out rally. Matt McLain walked and stole second, the first of his three thefts on the night and Cincinnati's seven. McLain scored when Tyler Stephenson lined a hanging changeup into left-center for an RBI single.
Giolito was his own worst enemy in the third. Bleday singled with one out, and Stewart and Nathaniel Lowe drew walks to fill the bases. Giolito then misplayed Spencer Steer's comebacker for an error that allowed Bleday to cross the plate.
The Padres tied it in the bottom of the third. Fernando Tatis Jr. singled with one out and scored when Jackson Merrill ripped a triple to the right field corner. Manny Machado chased Merrill home with a single to left.
