With great start from Cueto and a few timely hits, the San Francisco Giants just barely squeaked out a win in the longest game the Giants have played since 2001. Yesterday’s loss had a few silver linings to it. The offense looked like it had some life to it, but ultimately continued to struggle. Tonight was pretty much the same thing, but with a little, tiny extra twist to it.
Cueto, who pitched a good game, got worked hard through eight innings. Reds made some noise in the first, but did not score. After a lead off homer from Denard Span in the bottom of the first, Cueto ran into trouble in the top of the second.
