Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto became the first player in franchise history with nine home runs in a seven-game span with his sixth-inning home run in Friday night's 6-2 win against the New York Mets at Citi Field.
He's also the first Reds' player to homer in seven consecutive games - and the eighth player in Major League Baseball history to do so.
Votto is one game shy of matching the MLB record of eight consecutive games with a home run, last accomplished by former Moeller High School standout Ken Griffey Jr. in 1993.
Social media reactions:
Former Middletown High School standout Kyle Schwarber hit nine home runs in six games from June 19-25.
