Comes up big in tough loss Votto went 4-for-5 with two home runs, four total runs, four RBI and a walk in Wednesday's extra-innings loss to Atlanta. Impact After Atlanta jumped out to a 5-0 lead, Votto kicked off a comeback with a two-run shot to center field in the sixth inning. He completed the turnaround with a game-tying, two-run homer in the ninth to send the game into extra frames, but Atlanta ultimately pulled out the win on a walkoff three-run blast by Ozzie Albies. The disappointing outcome not withstanding, it was another big game for the veteran first baseman, who is slashing .352/.440/.868 with a league-leading 14 home runs and 32 RBI over 24 games since the All-Star break.
