Reds pitcher Johnny Cueto tossed a solid game against the Mets Saturday.
Cueto went seven strong innings, giving up five hits and three walks. He allowed just two earned runs and struck out nine batters. Cueto was in line for a win, but Reds closer J.J. Hoover melted down in the ninth inning. A walkoff grand slam ruined the chance at Cueto picking up his first win of the year.
Cueto has now pitched two exceptional games to start the season, and has little to show for it. He'll look to earn his first win of the year against the Rays next week.
