Steer homers and Lodolo shuts down Orioles, Reds win 3-2 to avoid sweep

CINCINNATI (AP) --- Spencer Steer broke up a scoreless game with his 14th home
run this season, Nick Lodolo pitched six scoreless innings, and the Cincinnati
Reds beat the Baltimore Orioles 3-2 on Sunday.
The win avoided a sweep and stopped the Reds' six game losing streak at home.
Kyle Bradish retired the first 12 Reds of the game but walked Eugenio Suarez to
start the fifth before Steer's homer made it 2-0.
Bradish (5-9) pitched 7 ? innings and allowed three runs and five hits with
five strikeouts.
Rookie All-Star Sal Stewart doubled home Edwin Arroyo to knock Bradish out of
the game. Stewart has 61 RBI, tied for seventh in MLB and the most by a rookie
this season. He is tied for 10th in baseball with 21 doubles, also the most by
a rookie.
Lodolo's string of 14 scoreless innings ended in the sixth inning. Taylor Ward
doubled and scored on a single by Coby Mayo with two outs.
Brock Burke made his 44th appearance this season, tied for second most in
baseball, when he relieved Lodolo and pitched a 1-2-3 seventh.
Lodolo (3-2) pitched six innings, allowing one run on six hits. He walked two
and struck out four.
Emilio Pagan got his first save chance since May 4 after missing 46 games with
a strained left hamstring. The Orioles loaded the bases with two walks and
Blaze Alexander's third hit of the game. Gunnar Henderson hit a sacrifice fly
to left to cut the lead to one before All-Star Adley Rutschman lined out to end
the threat. Pagan earned his seventh save in 10 chances this season.
