Reds starting pitcher Johnny Cueto dominated the Pirates for the second time in a week, as he tossed his second complete-game in a 4-1 win Tuesday.
Cueto wasn't quite as dominant this time around, recording just four strikeouts as opposed to 12 last time. Still, he held the Pirates to just one run on three hits, with the sole run coming on a late solo home run.
Cueto has allowed just one run on six hits and three walks over his last two starts, earning consecutive wins after opening the season winless in his first three starts despite pitching well. He is now 2-2 with a 1.38 ERA through five starts, and will look to get over .500 for the first time Sunday against the Braves.
