The Reds playing against the Milwaukee Brewers during an August 2000 away game at Milwaukee County Stadium.

The 2000 Cincinnati Reds season was the 131st season for the franchise in Major League Baseball. It consisted of the Cincinnati Reds attempting to win the National League Central, although coming short at 2nd place. They had 85 wins and 77 losses.[1] They Reds became only the second team in the modern era of baseball to not be shut out for an entire season, joining the 1932 New York Yankees. The 2020 Los Angeles Dodgers later accomplished this feat, but their season was shortened to 60 games.

The Reds were managed by Jack McKeon.
