"Timing is everything," Reds manager Bryan Price said.
The first homer of the day -- a two-out shot by Joey Votto against Brewers starter Wily Peralta -- gave Cincinnati the lead and was easily the most impressive.
Slugging a first-pitch changeup to right field, Votto's shot traveled 420 feet according to Statcast™. It was obviously it would clear the fence from contact, with an exit velocity of 110.8 mph and 24-degree launch angle. It went down as the hardest-hit homer by any Reds player in the Statcast™ era, which began in 2015.
