Members of the Cincinnati Reds, including star first baseman Joey Votto, protested police brutality and systemic racism by kneeling during the national anthem prior to Tuesday's exhibition against the Detroit Tigers.
According to Bobby Nightengale of the Cincinnati Enquirer, Votto did so alongside relief pitcher Amir Garrett, second baseman Alex Blandino and right fielder Phillip Ervin.
This comes after San Francisco Giants manager Gabe Kapler knelt alongside first base coach Antoan Richardson and outfielders Jaylin Davis, Mike Yastrzemski and Austin Slater prior to Monday's game against the Oakland Athletics.
