The Toronto Blue Jays squeezed out a 2-1 win against Joey Votto the Cincinnati Reds in the Canadian's emotional return to Rogers Centre. Votto's hometown club has never been far off his radar. ✍️: ShiDavidi
The priority for the Blue Jays this summer, at least as things are shaping up, needs to be a left-handed hitter who can make some impact. Ideally, it’s an outfielder but with the DH spot currently being cycled around the roster to manage workload, they can stick any acquisition there and not worry about what’s on offer in the field.
“Yeah, as any manager can tell you, if we get at DH that swings the bat and is there every day, I’m all for it,” said Charlie Montoyo. “Right now we don’t have that guy, so we’re using the DH spot to give guys a half-day.” One of those doubles came from Votto, who ripped a ball to right at 99 m.p.h. with two out in the sixth but was stranded when Kyle Farmer lined out at 102.6 m.p.h. right to Raimel Tapia in left field.
