Thanks! Were they also Cardinals' teammates at the same time?

Answering My own Question: Checking baseball-reference.com - Si & Syl were never together the same year on the Cardinals, however my research found that they were together briefly on the 1934 Cincinnati Reds. Si was on the Reds the entire season going 12-17 (not too terrible for a last-place team) while Syl Johnson was with the Reds from the start of the season until a Mid-May trade to the Phillies, where he remained until 1940. When Si joined him on the Phils in 1940 that made the second time they had been pitchers on the same team.
