Reds cruise behind Votto (4 RBIs), Adleman

Norris, who spent the past two weeks on the disabled list with a back injury, struggled in his return. He lasted 3 2/3 innings and allowed six earned runs and seven hits with four walks and three strikeouts.

Back in the big league rotation for the first time since May 19, Adleman pitched five scoreless innings, but gave the Dodgers what seemed to be an open invitation to do damage. Los Angeles was 0-for-8 with runners in scoring position against Adleman, who gave up five hits with two walks, three strikeouts and four hit batters. Dodgers batters hit drives to the warning track four times off of him, but three went for outs.
