Spencer Steer helps Reds rally past Braves

September 18 - Spencer Steer belted a go-ahead two-run homer to help erase a four-run deficit and lead the Cincinnati Reds to a 6-5 win Tuesday, dealing a costly blow to the playoff hopes of the visiting Atlanta Braves.

Steer's two-run homer to left came off right-handed reliever Pierce Johnson (5-5). It was Steer's 20th homer of the season, giving him 20 homers and 25 steals for Cincinnati (74-78).

Steer and Elly De La Cruz, with 24 homers and 64 steals, are the first Cincinnati teammates since Barry Larkin and Eric Davis in 1996 to reach 20-plus homers and 20-plus steals in a season.
