Joey Votto's legs do the work as streaking Reds race back into contentionVotto isn't exactly known for his foot speed at this stage of his career. But when the Reds needed the go-ahead run, he delivered.
Lucas Sims - Notches four-out saveSims allowed a hit and struck out four over 1.1 innings to earn the save in Wednesday's 2-1 win over Milwaukee.
ImpactPitching for the third time in four days, Sims was able to lock down his seventh save of the year with little trouble. The 27-year-old has a 4.23 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 43:14 K:BB across 27.2 innings this season. He remains the favorite for save chances, but Amir Garrett could get a ninth-inning assignment soon given Sims' heavy workload recently.
