Votto went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in an 11-4 loss against the Pirates on Tuesday.

The home run was nice, but Votto needs a lot more of them to make up for his poor first four months of 2019. He has just 10 home runs in 99 games, and perhaps even more surprisingly, Votto has only 33 RBI. He has 12 RBI in July, so at least he's performing a little better in that category lately, but he also has just two homers this month. The fact he does have 54 runs with a respectable .265 batting average over 374 at-bats this season does help prevent his season from being a total washout from a fantasy perspective, but he's still mostly performing below his career norms.
