Johnny Cueto pitched yet another remarkable game Friday night, pitching seven innings with one earned run. This gives the 23-year-old Dominican a 3-0 record with a 0.62 ERA over his last four starts. Not only did Cueto get the win, but he received his first RBI of the season as well.
The Reds jumped on St. Louis pitcher Joel Pineiro early, scoring five runs in the first two innings off of numerous Cincinnati batters. This included Jerry Hairston, Jr., who filled in for the sick Brandon Phillips at 2B. Hairston went 2-for-4 with two RBI.
Rhodes, Weathers, and Burton followed after Cueto's exit, and Fransico Cordero earned his ninth save of the season. The Reds progressed to a (16-13) record as Albert Pujols and the division-leading Cardinals fell to (19-11).
Two aces will face-off at the Great American Ball Park tomorrow night at 7:10 p.m. ET as Aaron Harang (2-3) will look to improve his 3.00 ERA against former teammate Kyle Lohse (3-1).
