Reds starter Johnny Cueto became the first pitcher on his team to reach six innings in Friday's Cactus League contest against the Rockies.
Cueto, who made his fourth start of the spring, allowed a run to score on a ground ball out in the first and gave up a two-run home run to Todd Helton in the fourth inning.
He allowed three runs on five hits in six innings in a 5-1 defeat. He also struck out five and did not issue a walk as he improved his ERA to 4.80 this spring.
"I feel good. I felt strong," Cueto said. "I worked on my breaking pitch [in the sixth]."
