Votto hit his third home run, a three-run blast, in Monday's loss to San Francisco.
It was Votto's only hit of the game, but after nine days without an extra-base hit, the slumping perennial All-Star will take it. All the numbers in his batting line (.231/.327/.341) are still ugly, but Votto's .281 BABIP is 75 points lower than his career mark, and there doesn't seem to be any reason that should persist. The power's been a little unreliable over the past few seasons, though last year's 29 homers should have fantasy owners still feeling confident in the veteran first baseman.
