WASHINGTON — Joey Votto hit a two-run home run to help the Cincinnati Reds beat the Washington Nationals 3-2. It's Votto's fourth homer in 12 games this season coming off a 10-month absence recovering from surgery. Reds starter Luke Weaver avoided a 10th consecutive no decision thanks to Ian Gibaut pitching out of a jam in the sixth inning. Freshly named All-Star Alexis Díaz picked up his 24th save to give Cincinnati a fifth win in six games. The Nationals fell to 13-28 at home in front of their largest crowd of the season.
