Milestone outing doesn't go Cueto's way

ATLANTA -- After pitching lights-out in April, Johnny Cueto began the month of May with a start he'd like to forget.

In the 200th start of his Major League career, the ace struggled with his command and gave up five runs on nine hits in six innings in the Reds' 5-0 loss to the Braves at Turner Field. He struck out two and walked one.

The loss came a little more than a year after Cueto dominated the Braves in eight shutout innings of three-hit ball in Atlanta on April 27, 2014. The Reds lost, 1-0, that day, and Cueto, who recorded 11 strikeouts, got a no-decision.
