EDGE Analysis

The veteran's third-inning single plated pitcher Tim Adleman and opened the scoring on the night, and his overall performance on the night extended Votto's torrid hitting stretch. He posted a stellar .394/.471/.636 line in August and a whopping 26 RBI and has gotten September off to a similar start. The 33-year-old has hit safely in six of the seven games he's participated in, already generating a .375/.484/.417 line over his first 24 at-bats of the new month.
