I dug into his stats and discovered that he had 1 appearance for Cincinnati in 1909 but his stat line is interesting:
Year|Team|G|GS|W|L|ERA |CG|IP| H |ER|R|BB|SO
1909|Reds| 1| 1 |0 |1|6.00| 1 |6 |11| 4 |8| 2| 3
He is credited with a complete game but only 6 innings pitched in a loss. There is a pretty cool article as well about this game and the circumstances that led to Griffith pitching his first game in over 2 years.
