Four Cincinnati Reds players kneeled during the national anthem before their exhibition game Tuesday against the Detroit Tigers.

Joey Votto, Amir Garrett, Phillip Ervin and Alex Blandino kneeled along the first-base line, while their teammates stood beside them and showed support, with Mike Moustakas putting his hand on Ervin's shoulder, Cody Reed putting his hand on Garrett's shoulder and Sal Romano putting his hand on Blandino's back.

At least a dozen San Francisco Giants players and staff also knelt before their exhibition game Tuesday night, one day after manager Gabe Kapler, a coach and three players kneeled.
