The Reds' current 2-11 start is the worst since 1955.
A loss today will be the worst start since 1931 when the Reds dropped to 2-13 on May 12, 1931. That team didn't win its third game until the second game of the double header that same day.
Si Johnson was the winning pitcher with a complete game in the 3-2 win. The Reds' starting lineup that day was Ed Roush CF, Wally Roetger RF, Joe Stripp 3B, Harvey Hendrick 1B, Nick Cullop LF, Hod Ford 2B, Leo Durocher SS, Lena Styles C and Johnson P.
The Reds finished the season with a 58-96 record.
It would be the curse of Pete Rose, who was born on this date in 1941.
