Arroyo has been among the best and most consistent starting pitchers since, then general manager Wayne Krivsky traded Wily Mo Pena to Boston for Arroyo.


Since 2006, Arroyo has the most wins in the Major Leagues (tied with Tim Hudson), (93), the most starts (tied with Dan Haren at (236) and is second in innings pitched in the National League with 1,508 1/3.  San Francisco's Matt Cain is first with 1,513.

Arroyo struck out Miguel Olivo for his 1,001st strike out as a Red.  His next strikeout will tie him with Jim O'Toole for ninth on the Reds' All-Time list.

Jim Maloney has the Reds career record with 1,592.
