CINCINNATI — While this season has become frustrating for the Reds, Saturday had some bright spots.<\/p>\n
On a night where the club honored legnedary play-by-play announcer Marty Brennaman, the Reds No. 1 prospect homered for the first time in his big league career.<\/p>\n
It was the start of a night where the Reds beat the New York Mets 6-3 to get back to .500 at 71-71.<\/p>\n
Sal Stewart’s First Big League Homer<\/p>\n
Stewart has a bright future with this Reds team. That’s a positive from a season that has gotten away from the Reds the last two weeks.<\/p>\n
The Reds’ No. 1 prospect and recent call-up homered Saturday night for the first time in his career. It was a deep fly ball to center field.<\/p>\n
With as much uncertainty as there is surrounding the Reds organization, Stewart should be on the roster on Opening Day in March.<\/p>\n
Lucky 13<\/p>\n
Reds right-hander Brady Singer got the win Saturday night for his team-leading 13th of the season. <\/p>\n
It was a solid outing for the Reds right-hander, who had to battle through four walks to get through six innings. He threw 99 pitches, with 58 for strikes. Singer also had five strikeouts Saturday night.<\/p>\n
This One Belongs To Marty<\/p>\n
Prior to the game, Reds Hall of Famer and Baseball Hall of Famer broadcaster Marty Brennaman was honored with a statue outside Great American Ball Park.<\/p>\n
The 2000 recipient of the Ford C. Frick Award, which inducts broadcasters into the Baseball Hall of Fame, Marty called Reds games for 46 years.<\/p>\n
In his career, Marty was named Ohio Sportscaster of the Year 16 times and is a member of both the NSSA and National Radio Halls of Fame.<\/p>\n
Marty will always be remembered for his signature phrase “And this one belongs to the Reds.”<\/p>\n
On Deck<\/p>\n
The Reds and Mets wrap up their three-game series Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n
Right-hander Hunter Greene (5-4, 2.70 ERA) will start against Mets right-hander Brandon Sproat, who will be making his MLB debut.<\/p>\n
First pitch is scheduled for 1:40 E.T. on FanDuel Sports Network Cincinnati and 700WLW.<\/p>\n
