Reds Throw No-Hitter But Lose to Pirates

The Red are not good:

THis helps prove that fact.

Reds Games Postponed

MLB faces more scheduling problems.

After one Cincinnati Reds player tested positive for COVID-19 on Friday night, the team sat in a holding pattern while awaiting more test results.

The wait will continue for at least one more day. The Reds were optimistic about playing a doubleheader against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday because both teams shared an off day, but that was called off by Sunday afternoon.

Phillies Beat Reds, and Halladay Throws a No-No

Phillies ace Roy Halladay threw the second no-hitter in postseason history, leading the Philadelphia Phillies over the Cincinnati Reds 4-0 in Game 1 of the NL division series on Wednesday.

Don Larsen is the only other pitcher to throw a postseason no-hitter. He threw a perfect game for the New York Yankees in the 1956 World Series against Brooklyn. The 54th anniversary of Larsen’s gem is this Friday.

The All-Star right-hander, who tossed a perfect game at Florida on May 29, dominated the Reds with a sharp fastball and a devastating slow curve in his first playoff start.  The Reds were overmatched from the first pitch.  They never even sniffed a hit.

Halladay spent 12 seasons with Toronto, far from the postseason. A trade last offseason brought him to the defending two-time NL champions, and gave him this chance.

The last time a pitcher came close to a no-hitter in the postseason was quite a while ago. Boston’s Jim Lonborg went 7 2-3 innings against St. Louis in the 1967 World Series before Julian Javier broke up it with a double.

The Phillies look like they are going to be tough to beat this October.
