Cueto moved to 8-1 Sunday, allowing just one run with five strikeouts and just two walks across six quality innings at Colorado.

Cueto has been stellar during his current four-start winning streak, as he has lowered his ERA to 2.31 and moved into a tie for second in wins among National League starters. In short, he has been lights out of late, and should be deployed with confidence even when entering Friday's matchup with the Cardinals.
