Joey Votto Ends Mini Slump With Three Hits

It had been two years since Joey Votto was kept off the bases in three games in a row.

In the first two games against the team he rooted for growing up in the Toronto area, Votto had three hits in four at bats.

The first hit stopped an 0-for-10 slump.

The last time Votto went three games without getting on base through a hit, walk or getting hit by a pitch was in August 2009.

His three singles pushed his batting average to .327 on the season.
