Giants' Johnny Cueto: Opens with ugly win
Cueto (1-0) picked up the win in his season debut Tuesday despite allowing four runs on six hits and two walks over just five innings. He struck out five.
Analysis:
Fortunately for Cueto, the Giants jumped all over Arizona's questionable pitching, obscuring the fact that he struggled through his five frames, throwing 94 pitches. Of course, Cueto's a perennially reliable -- and often underpriced -- fantasy starter, so there's no reason to worry over the results of his first start of the year.
