Tyler Stephenson Goes Deep Twice To Power The Reds To A Victory
4 months agoCincinnati Reds catcher Tyler Stephenson went 2-for-4 with two home runs on Saturday afternoon. The backstop hit his first long ball of the day in the second frame, which was a solo shot. Then, later in the fourth, he hit a three-run blast which scored Spencer Steer and Ty France. The backstop carried a ten-game power drought into Saturday's match. In 92 games this summer, the 27-year-old has posted a .241/.322/.430 line with 12 long balls, 37 RBI, and a 30:58 BB:K ratio. With his strong 18.0% K rate and 44.5% hard-hit rate, Stephenson is worth starting in most standard leagues going forward.
