Giants' Johnny Cueto: Picks up third win Friday

Cueto (3-0) picked up his third win of the season Friday, going seven innings while giving up two runs and striking out six against the Rockies.

Analysis:

The Giants spotted Cueto with a four-run lead early on, allowing him to cruise to an easy victory against a potent Colorado lineup. After an inauspicious 2017 debut, the All-Star pitcher has gone seven innings in both of his last two starts, bringing his ERA back under 4.00 in the process. With the Giants having two scheduled off days before his next start, Cueto won't take the mound again until next Friday against these same Rockies, but this time, his start will come in hitter-friendly Coors Field.
