Reds starting pitcher Johnny Cueto twirled a gem Saturday afternoon at home against the Nationals, improving to 11-6 on the year. The right-hander yielded four hits and three walks while striking out nine over seven scoreless frames of a 1-0 victory.

Over his last two starts covering 12 innings, Cueto has allowed only two earned runs. He owns a 2.08 ERA and a 0.93 WHIP over 22 starts (155 2/3 innings). He will look to keep rolling his next turn, Thursday night in Miami.
