LOS ANGELES (AP) — A remarkable streak ended when Joey Votto innocuously popped out to first base in the Reds’ 3-2 loss to the Dodgers Wednesday.
The slugger somehow had made 6,827 plate appearances over 13 seasons with the Reds without ever popping out to first.
He finally did it, fouling out to Cody Bellinger to end the eighth.
Votto had played 1,591 games in a career that began in late 2007 without ever popping out to first.
The Dodgers, meanwhile, tied the major league record by homering in their 32nd consecutive home game. A.J. Pollock hit a three-run homer in the sixth inning as the Dodgers tied the record set by Colorado in 1999.
Yasiel Puig scored both of Cincinnati’s runs against his former team, but the Reds got swept and fell to 0-7 on the road.
