Joey Votto swatted a trio of hits, drove in a pair, hit an absolute missile off the RF wall that would’ve been a homer had it been lifted just a tad bit higher in the air, and has continued to look like the Votto of old since returning to the Cincinnati Reds lineup after having his finger busted by a pitch in early May.
If the Reds are going to navigate this tough stretch with several big bats injured and no help from their front office, they’re going to continue to lean on their veteran slugger, and tonight he picked them up when they needed it most.
