CHICAGO (AP) — Sal Stewart, Eugenio Suárez, and Tyler Stephenson each hit a home run, leading to a 9-8 victory for the Cincinnati Reds over the Chicago White Sox on Thursday. Stewart contributed four runs while Suárez drove in four. Tejay Antone tossed a scoreless inning for the Reds, securing the win. Julian Garcia recorded his second save of the game by handling a shaky ninth.
