History is at stake on Saturday as the Cincinnati Reds look for a record-setting 13th consecutive win when they host the Atlanta Braves

The Reds held on for an 11-10 win Friday night, capturing their 12th straight victory to match the 1957 and 1939 clubs for the longest modern-era streak in franchise history

The Reds, baseball's oldest professional franchise, won 13 in a row in 1890 and 14 straight in 1899. Both streaks predate the modern record-keeping era in Major League Baseball

With a victory on Saturday, Cincinnati also would match the Tampa Bay Rays for the longest win streak in the majors this season.
