Joey Votto said he had no problem with Junior Caminero’s long trip around the bases in Game 6 of the American League Championship Series. The former Cincinnati Reds first baseman and 2010 National League MVP loved what he saw.
Caminero, the third baseman for the Tampa Bay Rays, hit a two-run homer off Cleveland Guardians closer Cade Smith in the seventh inning at Tropicana Field on Monday, Oct. 19, 2026. Statcast timed the trot at 38.66 seconds. Votto, the 2010 National League MVP, was asked about it the next day.
He spoke on MLB Network’s “MLB Now“ on Tuesday, Oct. 20, 2026, alongside host Brian Kenny and Christopher “Mad Dog” Russo.
