Trio of Reds sluggers chasing MLB history

All told, the trio of Votto, Schebler and Duvall are on pace to combine for 133 homers. That would be a Reds' franchise record for three players in a single season. The 1970 Reds got 119 homers combined from Johnny Bench (45), Tony Perez (40) and Lee May (34).

"It means you're never out of a game, and that's what we've felt this year," Reds manager Bryan Price said of the club's potent offense. "That's the beauty of our lineup, you never really feel like we're too far out of the ballgame."

Duvall opened the home run barrage with a solo shot to left field on the first pitch he saw from Dodgers starter Hyun-Jin Ryu.
