Stewart’s Go-Ahead, 3-Run Home Run Lifts Reds to 5-3 Victory over Mariners
Chase Burns allowed three hits and struck out six as Cincinnati extended its winning form with timely power and a ninth-inning save.
On Tuesday, the Cincinnati Reds defeated the Seattle Mariners 4-2 at T-Mobile Park, powered by Eugenio Suárez's solo home run against his former team and five scoreless innings from starter Chase Burns.
Burns improved to 12-1 on the season, continuing his dominant performance just days after signing a $105 million, seven-year contract extension with Cincinnati.
Shortstop Elly De La Cruz ignited the Reds with a leadoff home run and a game-saving defensive play, while Nathaniel Lowe added an insurance solo shot in the ninth.
Seattle's offense struggled, managing only two runs on solo homers from Weston Wilson and Julio Rodríguez, as the Mariners went 1 for 10 with runners in scoring position.
The Reds look for back-to-back series wins in Wednesday's finale, featuring a pitching matchup between Reds right-hander Brady Singer and Mariners right-hander Emerson Hancock.
SEATTLE (AP) — Eugenio Suárez connected a home run against his previous team and Chase Burns threw five innings without allowing races, so that the Cincinnati Reds would impose on Tuesday 4-2 on the Seattle Mariners.
