CINCINNATI (AP) — Joey Votto bolstered his case for the All-Star Game with another big swing.
Votto hit a tiebreaking two-run homer in the fifth inning, helping the last-place Cincinnati Reds top the Milwaukee Brewers 8-6 on Tuesday night.
“I do think Votto should be on the All-Star team,” Reds manager Bryan Price said. “I voted for him. I’m not that guy. I vote for the guys I think deserve it. Instead of looking at the statistics, we’re blessed to see him play every day. The power is great. There are so many parts to his game that I’m impressed with.
