Dayton Daily News: McCoy - Cueto - live and in color

Yost watched the 22-year-old [Johnny Cueto] put on a pitching clinic, Dominican style - 6 1/3 innings, two runs, five hits, no walk and eight strikeouts.

Over two major-league starts, Cueto has 13 1/3 innings with 18 strikeouts and zero walks. His record is only 1-0, though, because his teammates forgot to take their bats out of cold storage.

Cueto gave up a run in the third and a solo home run to noted Reds homicide artist Bill Hall and that home run in the seventh nearly plastered a defeat on Cueto’s nose.
...
And isn’t it time we critics (me included) get off Corey Patterson’s back a bit. Yes, most of us want to see Jay Bruce (who is hitting .211 at Class AAA Louisville, by the way). But Patterson’s home run was his third and he also drove in the first run of Tuesday’s game with a single.

He is hitting .269 with two doubles, three homers and six RBIs. I’m willing to back off a little - but, but, but…he STILL isn’t a leadoff hitter.

He has scored six runs, three on his own homers, and his on-base average is .286 and he has one walk. My dog, Barkley, gets two walks a day.

Cueto’s slider… yikes.
