Reds pitcher Johnny Cueto earned a win Wednesday, surrendering just one earned run on five hits and two walks in eight innings while striking out seven in his team's 2-1 victory over the Brewers.
Cueto (1-2) threw a whopping 125 pitches in the win, making him the first pitcher this season to cross the 120-pitch plateau. He looked like he was headed for a no-decision before the Reds pushed across a run in the top of the ninth to put him in line for the win.
Cueto has posted just a 1.86 ERA and 32:5 K:BB ratio in 29 innings but Wednesday's win was just his first of the season. His next start will come in a rematch with the Brewers Monday.
