Votto went into the stands to try making a catch with two outs in the top of the seventh of Tuesday’s Reds-Cardinals game. In two starts this season, he’s gone 1-0 and allowed two earned runs in 12 innings.

Reed (0-6) threw 98 pitches, 57 for strikes, while allowing eight hits and five runs with a walk and a strikeout and also hitting a batter.
The Cardinals hit two balls over the fence on consecutive pitches in the fifth, but only one of them was a home run as Schebler reached over the right-field wall to rob Jedd Gyorko.
