Cueto (4-4) pitched six innings, allowing four runs on five hits with eight strikeouts and one walk in Tuesday's loss to the Cubs.

Cueto couldn't keep the ball in the park against the Cubs, allowing three long balls over the first four innings. Cueto hasn't been quite as sharp as he was last season - his walk and home run rates are both up considerably from last year - but his offense hasn't been helping him out much, either. The Giants have scored just five runs in Cueto's last four starts, with three resulting in losses for the righty. Cueto's next start is scheduled for Sunday against R.A. Dickey and the Braves.
