Rookie starting pitcher Johnny Cueto did not have the night he was hoping for on Tuesday night as the Cincinnati Reds lost to the St. Louis Cardinals 7-2.  Cueto gave up eight hits and seven runs in only 1.2 innings of action.  Cueto now has a 5.40 ERA and 1-3 record on the season.

Bill Bray and Josh Fogg pitched the rest of the game in relief of Cueto and actually pitched pretty well.  They did not allow a run to cross the plate as they gave up seven hits.

The only scoring for the Reds came in the ninth inning when Adam Dunn connected for a two run home run that scored himself and Brandon Phillips.  The Reds only managed three hits in the game, and you’re not going to win very many baseball games when you only get three hits.
