CINCINNATI (AP) — Joey Votto homered and hit a go-ahead, two-run single in his return to the Reds’ lineup after a 10-month absence that followed surgery, helping Cincinnati extend its longest winning streak in a decade to nine with a 5-4 victory over the Colorado Rockies.
Cincinnati took over the NL Central lead for the first time since early April, moving a half-game ahead of Milwaukee.
The Reds are on their longest winning streak since taking 10 in a row from July 19-29, 2012. Colorado has lost six in a row and 12 of 15.
