MILWAUKEE – Joey Votto showed how much it meant to him to complete a three-game sweep against the Milwaukee Brewers.
Votto scored from first base on a double down the left-field line in the seventh inning Tuesday, barely beating a relay throw to the plate for a one-run lead. Votto stood up, took a hop toward the dugout and pumped his right arm in celebration.
He shouted at Barnhart, who advanced to third on the throw, “Attaboy! Attaboy!” Barnhart gestured to his teammates in the dugout, then clapped his hands.
The Reds beat the Brewers, 2-1, at American Family Field and earned their first three-game sweep in Milwaukee since 2009.
