Robbed by Tatis earlier, Stephenson hits 2-run homer in 9th to lift Reds over Padres 4-2

Tyler Stephenson hit a two-run homer to left field with two outs in the ninth — five innings after being robbed of one by Fernando Tatis Jr. in right — and the Cincinnati Reds beat the San Diego Padres 4-2 on Tuesday night. Stephenson homered into the lower balcony of the brick warehouse in the left-field corner of Petco Park on a 2-1 pitch from All-Star closer Robert Suarez (4-6) to give the Reds a 4-2 lead. In the fourth, Tatis made a perfectly timed leap to get his glove well above the right-field wall to rob Stephenson of a two-run shot.
