Giants' Johnny Cueto: Pitches 8.1 shutout innings versus Rockies
Cueto (4-1) was scattered eight hits in 8.1 scoreless innings in a no-decision against the Rockies. He struck out three and walked one.
Analysis:
Cueto had just two 1-2-3 innings Saturday, but Colorado wasn't able to push a run across the plate. He threw 72 of his 109 pitches for strikes, inducing 10 missed swings. The right-hander has four outings this season in which he allowed zero or one run in seven or more innings, but he also has two starts where he yielded six runs. Cueto will look to find some consistency in his next start Thursday against the Diamondbacks.
