Notes & reviews

Reds first baseman Joey Votto ejected by HP umpire Chris Conroy; Votto threw his bat and helmet down after striking out and that was the cause; Votto had walked out to his position before he was told he had been ejected; Votto ran back to HP and bumped Conroy
Gregory Polanco was called for interference when he was struck by the throw to 1B while running in fair territory
