Votto went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 2-0 win over the Phillies.

He ended Jerad Eickhoff's shutout bid by crushing a hanging breaking ball to lead off the bottom of the seventh inning, providing Brandon Finnegan with all the offense he would need on the night. Votto has hit 29 homers in each of the last two seasons, but the rock-steady slugger will need the Reds' offense to improve around him if he's going to reach the 100-RBI plateau for the first time since 2011.
