Cincinnati Reds rookie infielder Sal Stewart took the blame for his team's loss following their playoff exit on Wednesday night. In a postgame interview after the Reds' 8-4 defeat at the hands of the Los Angeles Dodgers, Stewart said, "I cost the team the game. Simple as that."
Stewart was referring to his inability to get a hit with the bases loaded during the sixth inning and the Reds trailing 3-2. He also committed a costly error during the bottom half of that inning when an errant throw to a covering Nick Martinez went awry and put runners on the corners for the Dodgers.
