Joey Votto hit his 11th home run of the season Tuesday, lifting the Reds to a 7-1 defeat of the Indians. Votto finished the night 2-for-4 with a walk and drove home three runs. His two-run shot off Tony Sipp in the seventh inning gave the Reds a bit of a cushion, increasing their lead to 4-1. Votto later added an RBI single in the eighth to cap off the scoring. The first baseman is off to a terrific start this year and is certainly in the discussion for early MVP candidacy, hitting .357 with 11 homers and 41 RBI.
