NEW YORK – A bigger stage doesn't always mean bigger problems, at least not so far for Sal Stewart. A rookie playing at Yankee Stadium for the first time this weekend, Stewart delivered in every clutch moment before him on Saturday while tying a career high with six RBIs during a 10-2 thumping of the Yankees that split the first two games of the three-game series. “Speechless," Stewart said. "To have my family here and everybody I love here, it’s incredible. Six RBIs at Yankee Stadium, I’m 22 playing at Yankee Stadium. I’m just so blessed.” For Father's Day weekend, Stewart's parents and roughly 25 of his family and friends are in New York for the games. They had plenty to enjoy. In the third inning against Yankees pitcher Will Warren with one out and the Reds trailing, 1-0, Edwin Arroyo hit a double to right field before Blake Dunn drew a walk. With two outs, Stewart delivered the go-ahead two-run double off the left-field wall. The big inning came in the top of the fifth after JJ Bleday's one-out double put runners on second and third base. Stewart added a sacrifice fly to left field that scored Dunn. “Just the confidence he has in himself as a hitter. With runners on, he doesn’t try to do too much," first baseman Spencer Steer said. "He sticks with what he’s good at, hitting line drives in the gaps. He’s done a good job for us. He’s been a rock in the middle of our order all year. I expect him to keep that going.”
