The Cincinnati Reds Have Yet To Win 11 Straight Games Since 1957
It was the Cincinnati Reds‘ 11th straight victory, their first 11-game winning run since 1957 when they defeated the Colorado Rockies 5-3 in the series finale on Wednesday to clinch a sweep.
The run is tied for the fifth-longest in team history. The only Reds teams with longer streaks were those from 1899 (14 games), 1890 (13 games), 1957 (12 games), and 1939 (12 games).
The Reds also hold the record for most come-from-behind victories in Major League Baseball with 26 thanks to Jake Fraley’s game-winning, two-run homer in the eighth inning.
After the game, Fraley spoke with Jim Day of Bally Sports Ohio: “We fight, and you guys are seeing it, man.” “It’s a special team.”
Bringing back Joey Votto in The Cincinnati Reds
The offense has also played a significant role in the Reds’ success. In his first game of the year on Monday, Votto finally made an impact, going 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a single with two RBI, and a walk. Much discussion focused on the Reds’ reaction to Votto’s return and whether he would be considered more of a relic than a valuable player on a squad trying to advance. In his first game back against a left-handed pitcher in Austin Gomber, Votto at least ended such discussions.
This Reds squad has a particular atmosphere, which Votto expertly described following the game. He addressed Reds supporters during the on-field interview by saying, “This is your team.” “All you wanted was for us to play well. For us to earn that championship, you deserve it. And for you to support me with such a hot team—for me to rejoin the team—and for you to support me in doing that. It means a great deal to me, and I’m so glad to be back, and it’s so good to get a win today.”
Votto is associated with the Reds and loves them despite his eccentricities and silliness. The six-time all-star, who is 39 years old and has been a squad member since 2007, has had some difficult times. Great American Ballpark will become more enthusiastic if he returns and contributes regularly.
