However, the Reds were in attack mode at the plate, and they overpowered the Yankees by a 10-2 margin. The Reds were led by shortstop Sal Stewart , who pummeled the Yankees and knocked in six runs.
The game marked the second time this year that Stewart had driven in six runs in a game. Stewart became the second Reds player with two games that included 6 RBI in the team's first 75 games of the season. Stewart matched the achievement of of Derek Dietrich , who recorded the achievement in 1920.
