May 16, 1975 Expos 4, Reds 2 (18-19)

This was the low point of the 1975 Reds season. They were a game below .500 after thirty seven games, and they stood in third place, 5 1/2 games back of the division leading Dodgers. The fact that they started out so tepid, and ended up winning 108 games goes to show you how nice of a stretch this team had.

But they were on the short end of the stick on this one. With the Expos up 2-1, the game was still within reach, but the Expos scored two in the bottom of the eighth to put the game away.

Pete Rose and Dave Concepcion both had two hits, and Joe Morgan had a double.

The six game losing streak was the longest the Reds had in 1975.
