With two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning, the bases loaded and with the Washington Nationals holding on to a slim, 6-5 lead, Cincinnati Reds slugger Joey Votto -- down to his last strike -- changed all that with one swing of the bat.
Votto crushed a Henry Rodriguez 4-seam fastball to center field for a walk-off grand slam, giving the Reds the victory by a final score of 9-6. The home run was Votto's fifth of the season.
The loss snaps Washington's three-game winning streak and helped the Reds avoid the weekend sweep.
