Reds' Sal Stewart matches Adam Dunn in Cincinnati baseball history behind Johnny Bench, Frank Robinson originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Sal Stewart isn't quite as hot as he was at the start of this season with the Cincinnati Reds.
He still continues to show off his prodigious power, though.
Stewart hit his 16th home run of the season early in Wednesday night's action against the Milwaukee Brewers:

That's tied for the fourth-most home runs through the Reds' 85th game in a season by any Cincinnati player age 22 or younger, according to MLB Network's Sarah Langs.
Stewart's 16 homers through 85 games tied Adam Dunn for fourth place on that list.
Jay Bruce had 18 home runs through an equivalent span to rank third.
In second? Frank Robinson, at 20.
Johnny Bench runs away with this mark, having hit 28 homers through 85 team games in the 1970 season.
So sure, Stewart isn't quite up to Bench's level.
On the flip side, he's hanging around with the best power hitters the Reds have ever had.
It certainly seems like Stewart has a bright future -- and frankly, the present is also quite bright.
