**Headline: Stephenson’s Late Homer Lifts Reds Past Padres After Tatis Robbery**

**San Diego, CA –** Tyler Stephenson exacted sweet revenge on Fernando Tatis Jr. with a two-run home run in the top of the ninth inning, propelling the Cincinnati Reds to a 4-2 victory over the San Diego Padres Tuesday night. The clutch hit came just innings after Tatis robbed Stephenson of a two-run homer with a spectacular leaping catch over the right-field wall.

The Reds jumped out to an early lead with solo home runs from Sal Stewart and Will Benson off Padres starter Michael King. San Diego rallied to tie the game in the fifth on an RBI triple by Jackson Merrill followed by a sacrifice fly from Jake Cronenworth.

However, the game remained tied until the ninth when Stephenson’s blast off Padres closer Robert Suarez broke the deadlock. Suarez walked Gavin Lux before Stephenson’s homer.

There was a scary moment in the second inning when Benson made a leaping catch at the wall and hit his head. He stayed in the game for a few more innings before being replaced.

Connor Phillips earned the win for the Reds, while Emilio Pagán closed out the game for his 27th save. Suarez took the loss for the Padres.

With the win, the Reds pull within three games of a National League Wild Card spot, while the Padres fell further behind the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL West standings. Andrew Abbott is scheduled to pitch for the Reds on Wednesday, while Nick Pivetta will be on the mound for the Padres.
