Reds starting pitcher Johnny Cueto tossed his 22nd quality start of the season Sunday on his way to his 14th win during a 7-2 victory against Miami. The All-Star right-hander allowed two runs on five hits and two walks, while striking out nine in eight innings.
Cueto got into an early deficit as Giancarlo Stanton hit a two-out solo home run in the top of the first inning. But Cueto was handed a 2-1 lead in the bottom of the inning thanks to a two-run homer from Devin Mesoraco.
Cueto held the one-run lead until Casey McGehee hit a one-out solo home run in the fourth inning. Though, that would be the last run Cueto allowed on the afternoon.
He's failed to throw a quality start in just three outings this season. Cueto has won his last six decisions and hasn't lost in his last seven starts. He will be back on the hill Saturday at Colorado.
