Reds pitcher Johnny Cueto turned in a fantastic start Friday against the Rockies.
Cueto allowed two runs on eight hits over eight innings. He struck out six and walked two during the outing. The Rockies actually struck first against the Reds ace. In the second inning, Nolan Arenado smacked a leadoff home run to put his team ahead by one. Cueto was touched up again in the sixth. He allowed a run after giving up a walk, single and a double. Cueto would settle in after that and record the final two outs of the inning via the strikeout.
With the win, Cueto improves to 15-6. He'll take on the Cardinals in his next start.
