Mark DeRosa HEATED Chicago Cubs fall to Cincinnati Reds, Votto collects 2,000th career hit monday
Even before Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto walked into the batter’s box in the seventh inning on Monday night, the crowd at Great American Ball Park had a feeling he was going to make history.
In the Reds’ 14-5 win over the Chicago Cubs, Votto entered the seventh inning with 1,999 hits. When Votto stepped up to the plate, most of the Reds fans in the crowd were already on their feet.
Votto hit a line drive single into center field. He became the fifth player in franchise history to get 2,000 hits, joining Pete Rose, Barry Larkin, Dave Concepcion and Johnny Bench.
“The Reds fanbase has high expectations,” Votto said. “I feel like on a daily basis, I want to earn their support. They’ve been good to me over the years. I’ve had stretches where I wasn’t playing up to the standards that I think both sides expect. Now I feel like I’m playing much better and I really appreciate their support because I want to give it back to them.”
