Reds defeat Rockies 5-4, extend win streak to 9 games

Joey. Votto. Bangs. After 10 long months of rehab and recovery, our beloved Joey Votto made his return to the Cincinnati Reds lineup and brought back the Votto of old. He made 4 plate appearances and went 2-3 with a solo home run, a 2-run single, and a walk. He also added a line-out that left the bat at 104 MPH in his first at-bat. Votto himself said he would not return if he wasn’t 100% healthy, and if there was still any doubt, he put those concerns to bed in one night. He obviously earns our Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game award.
