CINCINNATI - Reds star Joey Votto isn’t saying much about his home plate tantrum.
Votto turned 32 on Thursday and was in the starting lineup against St. Louis, a day after his volatile argument with umpire Bill Welke during Cincinnati’s 5-4 loss to Pittsburgh.
“I’m not going to talk about the exchange last night,” he said.
The Canadian first baseman said he hadn’t been contacted by Major League Baseball about a possible penalty. Any decision would likely come Friday.
“No, I haven’t heard anything from the league, and yes, I am in today’s starting lineup,” Votto said.
