Cueto struggled with his command against the Braves in Sunday's loss. "He was up," Reds manager Bryan Price said of Cueto. "Sometimes when you talk about a pitcher's stuff, stuff only correlates when it's commanded and well located, and today, I thought he had good stuff but without the command that really made it the typical Johnny Cueto type of stuff. And [the Braves] took advantage of it, to their credit."
Analysis:
Cueto was behind early, giving up three runs in the first inning, with the big blow coming on a Kelly Johnson homer. He gave up another home run to Jonny Gomes later in the game. He had just two strikeouts over six innings.
