Cueto at his own pace in Giants’ walk-off win

Johnny Cueto enjoys his time on a baseball diamond, and sometimes he just doesn’t want to come off the field.

Never in a rush, Cueto moseys to the mound and moseys back to the dugout. He rarely runs hard to first base, preferring to save his energy for pitching.

Giants fans saw a new Cueto trait in Tuesday night’s 4-3 victory over the Rockies. He broke into perhaps the slowest home run trot in history for a guy who didn’t hit a home run.

The game was won on Hunter Pence’s bases-loaded walk-off sacrifice fly that scored Orlando Calixte.
