Johnny Cueto had a roller-coaster start. Cueto did not qualify for the win, going just 4 innings. Over that span, he allowed 5 hits, 4 runs (3 earned), no walks, and struck out 7. In his last 4 starts, Cueto has 30 strikeouts in 25 innings pitched. Carlos Bohorquez picked up the win in relief by pitching 3 innings, allowing 1 hit, 1 walk, and striking out 5. Bohorquez’s stats are pretty ugly other than this game. Anytime you lower your ERA from 11.12 to 7.27, it’s not a good sign!
