Joey Votto dingered, Reds beat Braves 8-2 in series opener

The Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game

Joey Votto is not the Joey Votto we watched in April, nor the Joey Votto we watched in May. He's the Joey Votto we've watched bust heads for nearly a decade, and that very same Votto has been on full display for several weeks now once again.

Votto belted a 2-run dinger on Monday against the Atlanta Braves, and he later added both a walk and an RBI single, and he has once again become the battleship in the middle of the Cincinnati Reds lineup that he's almost always been.
