Eugenio Suárez broke a 0-for-26 slump with a solo home run in the fourth inning Friday, but he was more excited to see Joey Votto reach a career milestone.
In the third inning, Votto blasted a 429-foot, two-run homer to the Budweiser Deck that sits at the back of the right-field seats. It was Votto’s 300th career homer, becoming the third Reds player to reach the milestone and the ninth active player.
As Votto rounded the bases, Suárez skipped onto the field while pumping his right arm. Suárez went in front of Mike Moustakas, the on-deck hitter, and Nick Castellanos, who scored on the homer, to wait at home plate as he clapped his hands.
