Spencer Steer - Creates separation in win Steer went 1-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Saturday's 10-2 win over the Yankees.

Impact Steer broke open a close game with a three-run homer off Will Warren to give the Reds a 6-1 lead. It was the 12th home run of the season for Steer, who has hit a rough patch at the plate this month. He's gone just 3-for-45 (.067) over the last 14 contests. The silver lining is that all three hits have left the park, and he's knocked in eight runs during the slump.

Emilio Pagán - Feels good following live BP Pagan (hamstring) threw 20 pitches and used his entire repertoire in live batting practice/simulated game session Friday, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

Impact This was Pagan's first session facing live hitters, and the right-hander was ebullient following the session. "The fastball command was good, stuff was good. Physically, I felt strong. I'm really happy with how it went," Pagan said. "I felt like I could have thrown probably another 15-20 more, too. I felt like I was getting stronger as I went. That's a good sign." Next up for Cincinnati's closer is another live BP session Monday, which could lead to a rehab assignment, according to Reds manager Terry Francona.

Sal Stewart - Powers rout with six RBI Stewart went 2-for-4 with two doubles, a run scored and six RBI in Saturday's 10-2 rout over the Yankees.

Impact The rookie slugger struck out in his first plate appearance but tormented New York the rest of the afternoon, putting a two-run double off the left-field wall in the third inning and adding a sacrifice fly in the fifth. Stewart wrapped up his big day with a bases-loaded two-bagger to the left-center gap in the eighth. The six RBI tied his career high, a mark he first set April 15 against the Giants, and through 75 contests this season he's slashing .252/.346/.457 with 14 homers, 11 steals, 40 runs and 53 RBI.

Andrew Abbott - Stifles Yankees for fifth win Abbott (5-4) picked up the win in Saturday's 10-2 rout of the Yankees, allowing one run on five hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out six.

Impact The southpaw served up a solo shot to Paul Goldschmidt in the first inning, but Abbott shut down the home side from there and got plenty of run support before exiting after 97 pitches (59 strikes). It was his first win since May 20, but Abbott has given up three runs or fewer in 10 straight trips to the mound, a stretch in which he's delivered a 2.41 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 45:26 K:BB over 56 innings. He'll look to keep rolling in his next outing, which is set to come on the road next weekend in Pittsburgh.
