Biographical Information

Dennys Reyes allowed 7 runs in 1 2/3 IP for Mexico in the 2009 World Baseball Classic but avoided the team's worst ERA as David Cortes and Ricardo Rincon were both worse. Reyes threw 3 wild pitches in his short time on the hill during the Classic. Reyes was used as the closer for team Mexico at the 2013 World Baseball Classic, and helped Mexico close out a 4-hit shutout against the Arizona Diamondbacks in a warm-up game on March 5th before the start of the tournament.

Record

The Los Angeles Dodgers set a record (still current through 2009) between 1992 and 1997, when they played 722 consecutive games without a win by a left-handed starting pitcher. That streak ended when Reyes won his major-league debut.
