Giants' Johnny Cueto: Beats Cardinals with fifth complete game
Cueto (16-5) gave up two runs on five hits and a walk in a complete-game win over the Cardinals on Thursday. He struck out seven.
Analysis:
Cueto's fifth complete game of the year ties him with Chris Sale for the MLB lead, and he allowed two or fewer runs for the fifth time in six starts. His strikeouts are down from his heyday, but Cueto still looks about as confident and dominant as ever heading down the stretch.
