KEY PLAYERS

Joey Votto, Reds, and Jose Bautista, Jays. The 33-year-old Votto, who returns to play in his hometown for the first time since 2009, continues to put up big numbers, with 37 runs (fourth in the NL), 39 RBIs (sixth) and a .415 on-base percentage (eighth). Votto has had an on-base percentage of .414 or higher in eight of the last nine seasons. Bautista has seven homers and 18 RBIs in 17 games since May 10.

NEED TO KNOW

Cincinnati and Toronto have not met since June 2014, when the Reds took two of three games. Toronto leads the all-time series between the teams 9-6 . . . The Reds are 13-12 in the month of May; the Jays, 15-10 . . . Should lefty J.A. Happ, who returned to the Jays clubhouse on Sunday, return to the mound on Tuesday, it would be his first outing since being pulled from a loss to Baltimore on April 16 with elbow inflammati­on.

ON DECK
