Payton is definitely outplaying him so far.

Votto can't stop, won't stop walkin'
Every at bat I’ve seen of Aquino so far has looked pretty bad.
and Aquino can't stop, won't stop swinging at everything.
Votto coaxes a walk without swinging the bat once. Aquino K's swinging again. Also hitless for the year.
Our first look at Strop, who walk the first hitter. Second hitter grounds one up middle for single. 2 on none out.
Votto makes error on grounder and Strop falls to ground avoiding a broken bat and now bases are loaded.
Then Reds turn DP and run scores. 4-0
Soft grounder to end inning.
Garcia keeps impressing at the plate and on the field.
Tucker and Van Meter fly out. And AlfRod lines a single up the middle. Payton lines an opposite field gapper for a double to score AlfRod.
again, Payton doing what Schebler isn't doing
Man, that's a pretty good looking swing there by Payton
Schebler squibs a grounder and is thrown out by catcher.
Thornburg comes in to pitch and 2nd hitter goes yard. 5-1.
