May 20, 2010, Reds at Braves. The Reds blew a huge lead by giving up 7 runs in the bottom of the 9th.
Brooks Conrad's pinch-hit grand slam gave the Braves a 10-9 walk-off victory at Turner Field. The grand slam barely cleared the fence, with the ball deflecting off Laynce Nix's glove.
The Reds went to 23-18 on the year.

At least Arthur Rhodes had a good 9th inning.
I remember expecting that game to lead to a collapse, and instead they came out the next day and won like it didn't even happen.
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
50 Years ago today Reds 4 - Phillies 0
Tuesday, May 20, 1969
Attendance: 4,191
Venue: Crosley Field
Game Duration: 1:42
Pete Rose in CF, Pete played 500 innings in CF in 1969, he would play 65 innings over the next two years and never again.
That attendance is telling of the end of the road for Crosley and the Reds played 8 games with less than 5,000 in the stands in 1969

May 20, 1945. The Reds split a double header with the Boston Braves.
In things that would probably not happen today, they brought in the same pitcher (Hod Lisenbee) to close both games.

There seems to be a lot of losing on this date in Reds history. Maybe it's a good thing that they have the day off today.
May 20, 2014. Reds lost to the Nationals with a rare awful day for Cueto. 8 runs on 6 hits in 5 innings pitched in what would be his worst start of 2014.
Their record was 20-24.
