Summary
Sal Stewart erased a 2-0 deficit with a three-run shot in the sixth, sending Cincinnati to a 5-4 comeback win over St. Louis.
Stewart's 422-foot homer followed a Matt McLain double and an Elly De La Cruz single; his 94 RBI lead the majors this season.
Cincinnati added insurance in the eighth on a Cardinals throwing error that scored Jose Trevino and Dane Myers' run-scoring bunt, stretching the lead to 5-2.
Chase Burns struck out eight over five innings, and Emilio Pagán escaped a tense ninth after Jordan Walker's two-run, 25th homer cut the margin to one for his 16th save.
