Cincinnati Reds rookie Sal Stewart continued his stellar season on Thursday, going 2-for-4 with a solo home run and scoring another run in a 6-5 win over the Athletics. It was his 25th homer of the season, breaking his tie with legend Joey Votto, who hit 24 homers as a rookie in 2008. Stewart reached the mark in just 114 games and 432 at-bats, while Votto needed 151 games and 526 at-bats to record his 24 rookie home runs. Only Frank Robinson has hit more home runs as a Cincinnati rookie, belting 38 in 1956 en route to National League Rookie of the Year honors. Stewart has also provided defensive versatility, playing first base, third base and second base for the Reds this season.
