NEW YORK (AP) — Reds rookie Max Schrock did his best Joey Votto imitation. Schrock went 5 for 5 with a home run while giving the All-Star a break, leading fellow newcomer Vladimir Gutierrez and Cincinnati over the New York Mets 7-1 Sunday. Votto got a rest from manager David Bell a day after his seven-game home run streak came to an end. That allowed the 37-year old slugger to have consecutive off days before the Reds’ series opener with Minnesota on Tuesday. DUAL THREATAfter becoming the 30th New York Mets player to home in his first game with the team on Saturday, Baez showed off his arm Sunday.
