After he hit his 17th home run in the fifth inning of the first game, he singled in the seventh and eighth. Votto had singles in the first and fourth inning in the second game.

Votto reached base four times in the first game and in all five plate appearances in the second game, including intentional walks in the second and eighth innings, reaching base in seven straight appearances. He is the first Reds' player to reach base nine times in a doubleheader since Pete Rose did it in the 1970's.
