The Reds got going early with a 2-run homer from Joseph Daniel Votto in the 1st inning. And they didn’t look back from there, playing add on at the plate and getting strong pitching from Alex Wood and the bullpen.
The Offense
Joey Votto crushed a 2-run home run in the first inning to get the Reds rolling. Votto kept things going, too. He went 2-3 with a walk, a stolen base because he’s got wheels, scored two runs, and he drove in three. One of those runs scored by Votto came in the 3rd inning when Josh VanMeter grounded out but got the RBI to give Cincinnati a 3-0 lead.
