Reds first baseman Joey Votto will start at the cleanup spot Friday against Colorado for the first time since August 10, 2009.
Votto had moved from the third to the second spot in the lineup this season. His power numbers, which took a hit last year, have continued to slip. He has just four home runs and 10 RBI in 2013. His batting average has slipped to a disappointing .263 with a 6-for-37 run.
