Cueto was hit hard by the Dodgers on Sunday, as he allowed six runs on 10 hits and a pair of walks across seven innings. He struck out eight and was handed the win with nine runs of support.
The veteran failed to follow up after a stellar season debut, although he did only allow one extra-base hit and threw roughly 70% strikes. The fact that the offense was able to bail Cueto out bodes well for his chances of racking up some wins this season, so long as starts such as Sunday's are few and far between. He will take the hill against the Dodgers once again on Saturday in L.A.
