Giants' Johnny Cueto: Wins ninth game of season Friday

Cueto (9-1) went six innings against St. Louis on Friday, and allowed only one run on four hits and five walks. He struck out only one.

Analysis:

Cueto delivered his sixth straight quality start, but he struggled with his control as only 60 of his 105 offerings went for strikes. Back discomfort might have played a role in Friday's performance, but he still led the Giants to the win. Cueto will look to keep it going in his next start against the Dodgers on Friday, as he'll get extra rest with two off-days on the Giants' schedule for the upcoming week.
