'This is what he does.' Barry Larkin reacts to Sal Stewart's 6th HR

[ASFN Admin]

Cincinnati Reds first baseman Sal Stewart hit his team-leading sixth home run of the season, a three-run blast to right field off of San Francisco starter and former Red Tyler Mahle, to give the Reds a 3-0 lead during the first inning of their Jackie Robinson Day game against the Giants at Great American Ball Park.

"Stay hot, young man!" National Baseball Hall of Famer and Reds.TV analyst Barry Larkin said during the broadcast. "This is what he's expecting himself to do. There's no really surprise. This is what he does. Outstanding."

Moments earlier, play-by-play announcer John Sadak said Stewart "must be the odds-on favorite" for National League Rookie of the Year.

With the homer, Stewart boosted his batting average to .322.

Eugenio Suárez followed Stewart's homer with a solo shot to increase the Reds' lead to 4-0.
