Johny Hendricks vs. CINCINNATI, Ohio -- Joey Votto emerged from his deep slump when the Reds really needed him. Votto singled and hit a two-run homer on Friday night, leading Cincinnati to a 3-2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers that kept its momentum going in the NL Central race. The 2010 NL MVP has been having a tough time, watching his batting average fall to .300 after he led the league at .361 on May 24. The Reds got a run in the fourth when Votto ended his 0-for-13 slump with a single off Stephen Fife, Jay Bruce singled and Ryan Ludwick grounded into a double play. Votto hit a two-run homer -- his 22nd -- off J.P. Howell (2-1) in the fifth inning for a 3-2 lead. "This is one game," Votto said. "Youre only as good as your last at-bat." His last at-bat on Friday? The decisive homer. "Joey coming through was a big thing for us," said Mike Leake, who went 7 2-3 innings. "When youre in a slump, its tough -- not that his was a big one. Im glad for him." Manager Dusty Baker asked Votto if he wanted a day off Friday to regroup. Votto decided to play and broke out. "It started with the base hit up the middle," Baker said. "You guys know the stats. I knew he was 0-for-something. He came through at the right time. You cant hold a good man down for long." While the Reds were relieved, the Dodgers got another concern for their pitching staff. The NL West leaders lost Chris Capuano to a mild groin strain in the second inning, when he grimaced on a pitch to Zack Cozart. Already this week, the Dodgers had to push Hyun-Jin Ryu back from a scheduled start because of a sore back. "It is something Ive had before but Ive been able to keep it at bay," Capuano said. "I just felt it grab on a pitch to Cozart. I didnt hear it pop or anything. I hope its a mild strain. I have to wait to see how it feels tomorrow. Ive felt great the last couple of games." Leake (12-6) emerged from his recent slump, helping the Reds get their fourth win in their last five games. He allowed five hits, including Hanley Ramirezs two-run homer. Aroldis Chapman, pitching for the fourth day in a row, fanned three in the ninth for his 35th save in 40 chances. It was only the eighthh time in his career that the hard-throwing lefty went four days in a row.dddddddddddd "We know down the stretch were going to play a lot of close games," Baker said. "We know down the stretch our closer is going to have to go multiple games." The third-place Reds kept their momentum going from a successful series against the St. Louis Cardinals that tightened the NL Central race. The Pirates, Cardinals and Reds are all in good position to reach the playoffs -- one as the division champ, the other two as wild cards. Los Angeles has taken control of the West by going 36-10 since the All-Star break. The Dodgers want to get the NLs top rotation fully healthy for the playoffs. Capuano has never lost at Great American Ball Park, going 3-0 in eight games. The groin strain prevented him from trying to add to the total. The left-hander has been on the disabled list twice this season. He was sidelined from April 17 to May 6 with a strained left calf and from May 30 to June 19 with a strained left shoulder. Reds second baseman Brandon Phillips was in the lineup a day after he left a game because of a sore left thigh. He singled in the eighth off Paco Rodriguez and was replaced by Billy Hamilton, who stole second, leaving him 3 for 3 in attempts since his promotion. Rodriguez walked the bases loaded, but Brian Wilson got Ryan Ludwick to line into a double play as he escaped the threat. Right fielder Yasiel Puig was back for the Dodgers after a sore right knee limited him to pinch-hitting status the last two games. He had an infield single. NOTES: C Devin Mesoraco was back in the Reds starting lineup. He has been limited lately by a sore left hamstring. ...
