The team won their first-ever National League Central title, and the NLDS in three straight games over the Los Angeles Dodgers before losing the NLCS in four games to the eventual World Series champion Atlanta Braves. It was both the last season for manager Davey Johnson and the last (as of 2025) playoff series victory for the Reds.
