TORONTO — Reds first baseman Joey Votto gets a rare opportunity to play in his hometown when Cincinnati visits the Toronto Blue Jays for a three-game interleague series starting Monday at the Rogers Centre.
Both teams are coming off series wins.
The Reds (24-25) blasted five home runs in a 8-4 victory over the Phillies on Sunday to capture a series in Philadelphia for the first time since 2006. Adam Duvall hit two home runs and had five RBIs. He has four homers in his past four games. Patrick Kivlehan also went deep twice.
The Blue Jays (23-27) had their five-game winning streak stopped Sunday with a 3-1 loss to the visiting Texas Rangers, but they still are enjoying a 15-10 May.
