CINCINNATI -- Twice in 20 days during the 1971 season, the Reds were on the wrong end of a no-hitter. With a streak of 7,109 regular-season games, they went nearly 45 years without it happening to them again. Until Thursday.
Jake Arrieta dealt the Reds a no-hitter while the Cubs buried them for a 16-0 loss at Great American Ball Park. It was the first regular-season no-hitter vs. Cincinnati since Rick Wise and the Phillies did it on June 23, 1971, at Riverfront Stadium.
"It's tough. We got dominated," Reds right fielder Jay Bruce said.
