Poor Jo-Jo Reyes

Ouch... from mlb.com:

NEW YORK -- Blue Jays left-hander Jo-Jo Reyes tied the Major League record for longest stretch of consecutive starts without a victory on Wednesday afternoon at Yankee Stadium.

Reyes allowed five runs on five hits in just three innings against the Yankees. He has now gone 28 starts without a win.

That moves Reyes into a tie with Matt Keough, who previously set the record while pitching for the Athletics in 1978-79.

The 26-year-old Reyes hasn't won since June 13, 2008, when he was a member of the Braves.

Reyes struggled early against New York, and allowed at least one run in every inning he pitched. Prior to the outing, though, he had been pitching well of late.

The native of California entered Wednesday's start with a 3.06 ERA over his previous six outings, but was 0-1 with five no-decisions over that span.

Some games it looks like hes throwing a beach ball towards home so its not that surprising.

Platoon him and bring up a AAA/AA guy and give him a chance. Can't do any worse than Reyes.

Today aside he has actually been quite effective this month. His peripherals are reasonably good, too. The 'pen has blown two Wins for him in his past four starts, so he has been fairly snakebitten. Still, I'm not sure he'll ever be an effective big league starter.

And there it is! A complete game, to boot. A great atmosphere in the 9th. The fans were cheering like Jojo was throwing a no-no.

Almost three years since his last W.
