The Reds (12-16) lost the second game of their series with the Cardinals (17-11), no thanks to worthless rookie Johnny Cueto (1-3). Sheesh. Talk about failing to live up to the expectations heaped upon him after a couple good outings. Why, in my day, rookies weren’t so inconsistent.
Joel Pineiro (2-2) got the win. No save situation was available, although Adam Dunn tried with a meaningless home run in the 9th.
The two teams close out the series at 1:15pm EDT when Aaron Harang takes on Braden Looper.
