Cleveland Indians vs Toronto Blue Jays
7:07 PM ET, May 30, 2011
Rogers Centre, Toronto, Ontario
It's approaching three years since Jo-Jo Reyes' last win, but the Toronto Blue Jays left-hander insists he's not thinking about it.
It might be hard for him not to do so Monday night against the visiting Cleveland Indians, considering Reyes could set a dubious major league record by failing to win in a 29th consecutive start.
Acquired in a five-player deal with Atlanta in July, Reyes (0-4, 4.70 ERA) remains in search of his first victory since June 13, 2008, against the Los Angeles Angels while with the Braves. Oakland's Matt Keough (Sept. 6, 1978-Aug. 8, 1979) and the Boston Braves' Cliff Curtis (1910-11) are the only other pitchers to go 28 straight starts without a victory.
"I'm not worried about that streak," Reyes said after giving up five runs in three innings of Wednesday's 7-3 loss to the New York Yankees. "When I step on the rubber, all I'm worried about is executing the pitch."
Though Reyes is coming off a poor performance, he has been worthy of winning many outings this year. He's pitched at least six innings and given up fewer than three earned runs in half of his 10 starts.
