Here's a look back at the great month by the Reds (from Lance McAlister):
AUGUST
--The Reds finished August 19-8...the best record in ML for the month. It's their first 19 win month since September of 1999.
--The Reds have had a winning month in each of the season's five months....for the first time since 1979. They are one of only three teams (Padres/Yankees) to accomplish that this season.
--The last Reds team to have a winning season in each month of a season was the 1976 Reds.
--The Reds outscored their opponents 148-126 in August
