CINCINNATI — \u2014 Sal Stewart<\/a> hit his first major league home run, Brady Singer<\/a> extended his winning streak to four and the Cincinnati Reds<\/a> defeated the New York Mets<\/a> 6-3 on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

Matt McLain<\/a> and Austin Hays<\/a> also went deep for the Reds, who snapped a three-game losing streak. Even with the win, Cincinnati (71-71) is five games back for the final NL wild-card spot.<\/p>\n

Jared Young<\/a> homered for the Mets and Francisco Lindor<\/a> added three hits.<\/p>\n

Cincinnati’s TJ Friedl<\/a> had an RBI base hit with the bases loaded in the seventh inning to extend his on-base streak to a career-high 16 games.<\/p>\n

Singer (13-9) went six innings and allowed one run on four hits.<\/p>\n

With Spencer Steer<\/a> on first base, Stewart drove a fastball from Mets starter Jonah Tong<\/a> over the center-field wall to put the Reds up 2-0 in the second inning.<\/p>\n

Stewart was called up from Triple-A on Monday when rosters were expanded. The 21-year-old infielder was playing his fourth game and got his first start at third base.<\/p>\n

Tong (1-1) was making his second career start and allowed three hits and four runs, all on homers.<\/p>\n

Bench coach Freddie Benavides managed the Reds after Terry Francona fell ill with a flu-like bug that has affected many on the team.<\/p>\n

Key moment <\/p>\n

Elly De La Cruz<\/a> drew a walk with the bases loaded with two out in the seventh inning. That brought in Jose Trevino<\/a> and extended the Reds’ lead to 6-2.<\/p>\n

Key stat <\/p>\n

Singer has gone 5-1 with a 2.27 ERA in six starts since Aug. 1. The right-hander has 44 strikeouts, 13 walks and is holding opponents to a .207 batting average in that span.<\/p>\n

Up next <\/p>\n

Mets RHP Brandon Sproat will make his big league debut. Reds RHP Hunter Greene<\/a> (5-4, 2.70 ERA) makes his fifth start since coming off the injured list for the second time.<\/p>\n
