For one reason or another, the Reds have given the Astros fits for the past 13 years. I suppose we can count that as payback for Roy Oswalt dominating them for the better part of a decade. However, with Houston’s transition to the American League, these former division rivals haven’t often faced each other. Since the 2012 season, the Astros have played Cincinnati 29 times, achieving only six victories. Indeed, a dreadful 6-23 record. That last victory occurred on June 19, 2016, the season before the remarkable run of AL West titles and deep postseason appearances. So, you know, almost nine years ago.
