Aroldis hasn't pitched since last Sunday. Yes, he needs to pitch. So does Broxton.
Another single, Walker to left.

I'd say no. I'd actually put Hoover in to close. Exactly the kind of lower leverage and confidence-boosting oppy he needs imho. Agree Chapman needs the work but the Hoover situ feels like a higher priority right here and how given min downside to deferring Chapman for another day.

Latos escapes.
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
*whew* That was interesting. Grounder to Votto...in and out of his glove but sticks with it, out at first with Latos covering. 5-0 it stays. That should be it for Latos IMO. I'd go 1 inning each for LeCure, Broxton & Chapman.
I get wanting to get Hoover back on track, but I don't focus on the rook at the expense of hurting your horses. They need some work. 3 days off is one thing....7 is a whole different ballgame for a reliever.
It's nice to have a lead so when our pitcher makes a mistake, it doesn't cost him the game. Much less stressful on him.

I think Dusty sends Latos back out for at least one more inning.

Votto. The bum. 20th walk. 2nd in MLB is Poo-holes with 11.

Phillips has done his best in his last couple of games to make them pitch to JV...they just won't do it.
