Angels fifth starter candidate Matt Shoemaker was roughed up for six earned runs and 10 hits over his three innings, including three homers. Leading off the Reds' second inning, Adam Duvall hit an 0-2 pitch for a homer to right-center field to make it a 3-0 game.
In the four-run bottom of the third inning, Jordan Pacheco and Votto hit back-to-back homers off Shoemaker. Votto's was a towering drive that landed on the patio roof above the right-field wall.
Reds prospect and rotation candidate Cody Reed pitched three scoreless innings with two broken-bat singles and one strikeout in his second game, but first start of spring.
