Luck wasn't on Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto's side during Tuesday's game against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park.
The 38-year-old missed a pair of home runs by inches, settling for two doubles instead.
The first came in the top of the fifth inning when Votto smoked an offering from Red Sox right-hander Michael Wacha that ricocheted off the top of the fence in right field.

Votto stepped to the dish in the top of the eighth against Tyler Danish and hit a ball toward the left-center portion of the famed Green Monster. The umpires reviewed the play but upheld the initial ruling that it was in play and not a homer.

The former National League MVP has struggled to find his power this season with just a pair of home runs in 32 games.
