Rewind: Cueto gets hat-tip from teammates after latest win
SAN FRANCISCO — Johnny Cueto received a standing ovation from the sellout crowd when he walked down the dugout steps after the eighth, and the applause was even louder when he walked back up for the top of the ninth.
While Cueto appreciated the fans, a gesture from teammates might have meant a bit more. The position players literally tipped their caps to Cueto after his fourth complete game in 18 starts. Following the lead of Brandon Belt, Cueto’s infielders and outfielders took their caps off and tucked them under their arms Cueto style as they walked through the high-five line.
