Reds pitcher Johnny Cueto was stuck with a loss Saturday after surrendering two runs (one earned) on four hits and one walk in seven innings while striking out four in his team's 4-1 defeat against the Cardinals.
Cueto surrendered the unearned run in the second inning, while his first earned run of the season came on a fourth-inning home run by Matt Adams that put the Cardinals up for good. Cueto brings a 0.64 ERA and 14:2 K:BB ratio into a rematch with the Cardinals Friday.
