CHICAGO (AP) — Joey Votto has set a Reds franchise record by homering in six consecutive games.
Votto went deep again as Cincinnati beat the Chicago Cubs 7-4.
The 37-year-old Votto homered six times in the four-game series at Wrigley Field, and has eight home runs over his record stretch.
Votto’s 20th homer of the season was a two-run shot in the first, when he hit a fastball from Alec Mills into the center field bleachers.
Patrick Wisdom and Wilson Contreras homered for the three Cubs runs off winner Luis Castillo, who had only given up three runs total in his previous four starts.
