Giants lose on another rough night for Cueto

CHICAGO - Minutes before the first pitch Tuesday night, the Cubs organist played "Go, Johnny, Go."

When Johnny Cueto took the mound the tune quickly changed to "Go Baseballs Go." Three of them, in fact.

Kyle Schwarber, Jason Heyward and Anthony Rizzo all homered by the fourth inning, and Cueto's rough month continued to a 4-1 loss to the Cubs that evened the four-game series at two wins apiece.

Cueto's matchup with Jon Lester, the Game 5 that could have been, was no contest. Lester held the Giants to a run in his and the Cubs’ first complete game of the year, a four-hitter.
