Joey Votto homered Thursday afternoon to extend his streak to six straight games. That sets the Reds record. Next up in the major league record of homering in eight straight games, held by Dale Long, Don Mattingly, and Ken Griffey, Jr. Note that Mattingly and Griffey both tied the record during the month of July.
Looks like Carlos Carrasco will be making his first start of the season tonight, vs. the Reds. Votto is 6-for-14 lifetime vs. CC, with 2 doubles, a homer (way back in 2011) & 3 K’s.
Votto has hit 6 career homers at Citi Field (in 34 career starts)
