Reds 9, Tigers 2: Stewart Drives in Five as Cincinnati Rolls

April 25, 2026 - Cincinnati - The Cincinnati Reds followed Friday's walk-off with a much cleaner win, beating the Detroit Tigers 9-2 behind Sal Stewart.

ESPN's recap credited Stewart with a three-run homer and five RBIs, the kind of line that can carry a full night by itself. Cincinnati had 10 hits and held Detroit to two runs despite the Tigers putting 10 hits on the board.

Stewart Turned Traffic Into Damage

Detroit reached base enough to make the game interesting on paper, but Cincinnati did more with its chances. Stewart's three-run homer gave the Reds the kind of separator a lineup needs after an emotional win the night before.

The Reds are starting to stack different kinds of wins: the dramatic one on Friday, then the controlled one on Saturday.

AthX Engine Fantasy Angle

AthX Engine rewards hitter lines built on home runs and RBI volume, and Stewart's five-RBI night belongs high on the April 25 hitter board. Cincinnati also gets a strong team fantasy total for scoring nine and keeping Detroit to two.

What It Meant

For Cincinnati, this was proof Friday's walk-off did not drain the room. For Detroit, 10 hits with only two runs is the kind of line that frustrates a manager because the chances were there.
