Reds Prevail in the Return of Ace Johnny Cueto; Chapman Redeems Himself
By Ryan Bramwell
CIN (27-18) 4 8 0
NYM (17-25) 3 5 1
W: Johnny Cueto (2-0)
L: Shaun Marcum (0-5)
S: Aroldis Chapman (9)
Box Score
- Cueto: 5.0 IP, 3 ER. 3 H, 4 BB, 8 SO
- Not particularly sharp in his return, but that can be expected when a guy has been out as long as Johnny has.
- A three-run homer off the bat of Marlon Byrd was truly the only damage inflicted on Cueto. Otherwise, he wasn't all that bad.
- Despite walking four batters, he worked himself out of several jams showing Reds fans a reason to stay positive throughout his time on the mound.
- Votto: 2-for-4 with a walk. Batting .353 now.
- Bruce: 2-for-4 with his 16th double and his 6th home run.
