Joey Votto, first baseman for the Cincinnati Reds, was ejected by plate umpire Shane Livensparger after the first inning of the Reds' 4-3 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals. This may have been Votto's final game with the Reds as he is completing a 12-year contract and has not indicated whether he intends to play next season. Votto, a six-time All-Star, has had a career spanning 17 seasons with a .294 average, 356 homers, and 1,144 RBI.
