Reds pitcher Johnny Cueto earned a win Saturday, giving up just one earned run on six hits and two walks in seven innings while striking out eight in his team's 2-1 victory over the Mets.
Cueto (17-8) fell behind early after surrendering an RBI single in the second inning, but the Reds were able to deliver a pair of solo home runs in the middle frames to give Cueto a lead before his day was through. He owns a 2.23 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 213:58 K:BB ratio in 214 innings. Cueto is scheduled to face the Cardinals Thursday.
