Blue Jays’ Jo-Jo Reyes Matches Major League Record With 28th
Consecutive Winless Start

By Associated Press
     May 25 (Washington Post) -- NEW YORK — The Blue Jays' Jo-Jo
Reyes has matched a major league record by making his 28th
consecutive start without recording a win.
     Reyes was pulled after the third inning of Wednesday's game
against the New York Yankees with Toronto trailing 5-0. The
left-hander allowed all five runs on five hits and two walks,
including two-run homers by Andruw Jones and Mark Teixeira.
     Reyes hasn't won a game since June 13, 2008, when he beat
the Los Angeles Angels as a member of the Atlanta Braves.
     Matt Keough of the Athletics set the record for consecutive
starts without a win from Sept. 6, 1978, to Aug. 8, 1979. Keough
pitched a complete game in his next start on Sept. 5, breaking
the streak with a 6-1 victory over the Brewers.
