Johnny Cueto made his return to Great American Ball Park, and faced the Reds for the first time since being traded last summer. It had to be an emotional night for Cueto, facing the only team he ever knew before last year.
Things started off good for Johnny. He retired 6 of the first 7 batters he faced. In the 2nd inning, Cueto was able to sneak a single past Votto and Phillips and drive in two runs. Cueto had a 3-0 lead after two innings, and Reds fans were bracing for a long night against their former ace.
