Reds' Errorless Streak Snapped by Brady Singer's Pickoffs

The Cincinnati Reds' remarkable 11-game errorless start to the season came to an end in Game 12, but their focus on clean defense remains intact.

The Cincinnati Reds' franchise-record 11-game errorless streak was snapped in their 12th game when Brady Singer committed two errant pickoff throws. Despite the setback, the team remains the only club in the majors without an official error this season.

A late-season scoring change had briefly given the Reds a second chance to tie the MLB record for the longest errorless start, but that pursuit ended just as quickly. Manager Terry Francona’s emphasis on defense continues to drive the team's early success.
