"The reigning National League MVP is also the reigning National League Player of the Week. Reds first baseman Joey Votto took home the second weekly award of his career on Monday after last earning it in September 2009. From July 25-31, Votto tied for the league lead in home runs (four) and RBIs (nine). He homered on three straight days from Tuesday through Thursday against the Mets, marking the second time in his career he's gone deep in a three-game stretch."
