Reds pitcher Johnny Cueto got back on the winning side Tuesday, in a 4-2 victory over the Cubs.
Cueto got some early help, as the Reds scored three runs in the first inning. He was able to make that stand up, allowing just two runs in 6 1/3 innings, on a pair of back-to-back solo home runs. He scattered six hits and a walk while striking out four batters on 97 pitches in the win.
Cueto improved his record to 9-6 on the season, while his ERA rose slightly to 2.03, the first time it has been over 2.00 since April 11.
