Reds pitcher Johnny Cueto pitched well on Wednesday against the Padres, but was outdueled by Tyson Ross for the loss, dropping to 8-6 on the year. The right-hander permitted three runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out eight over seven innings of a 3-0 defeat.

Cueto has notched five straight quality starts. Over that span covering 37 1/3 innings, Cueto has only allowed eight earned runs. He owns a 1.99 ERA and a 0.87 WHIP over 18 starts (131 1/3 innings). He will look to get back on track Tuesday at home against the Cubs.
