Reds pitcher Johnny Cueto pitched brilliantly in a win Wednesday, giving up three hits in six scoreless innings while striking out 12 and walking none in his team's 5-0 victory over the Dodgers.
Cueto (6-5) saw his ERA creep over 2.00 after giving up two earned runs in seven innings on April 11, but it's been under that level ever since. The 12 strikeouts match a season high for Cueto, who owns a 1.85 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and 109:22 K:BB ratio in 102 innings. He'll take on the Pirates Tuesday.
