Cueto (6-7) allowed three runs on seven hits and four walks while striking out three across five innings to earn the victory Friday against the Pirates.
Cueto struggled to keep the Pirates hitters off the basepaths, but was fortunate to receive plenty of run support and net his sixth victory of the season. Although his 4.26 ERA has made him a disappointment to those who drafted him, he did come into this contest having allowed just three runs over his previous 14 innings covering two starts, and he'll look to get back on track in his next start Thursday against the Tigers.
