Votto went 2-for-4 with a home run and a walk in Tuesday's 9-5 loss to the Cubs.
It was the slugger's 11th dinger of the season, a two-run shot in the seventh. The Cincy slugger now has a nine-game hitting streak, with multiple hits coming in five of those contests. He has 18 hits in May and is providing substantial power in the middle of the Reds' order.
