Cueto (7-6) took the loss Tuesday versus Arizona. He allowed three runs (two earned) on six hits and four walks with seven strikeouts in five innings.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander allowed 10 or more baserunners for just the third time in his 18 starts this year. Arizona got all three of its runs in the second inning, and San Francisco's offense was unusually quiet while failing to cover the damage. Cueto hasn't gone more than six innings in any of his last six outings. He has a 3.83 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 89:23 K:BB through 98.2 innings. The veteran will attempt to get back on track in Milwaukee this weekend.

Cueto (7-5) picked up the win Thursday after holding the Dodgers scoreless across 5.2 innings. He allowed four hits and a pair of walks while striking out five.
EDGE Analysis
Cueto turned in one of his best starts of the year against a volatile Dodgers lineup. After coughing up 11 home runs in his last eight starts, the right-hander turned things around by blanking his opponent for just the third time this year while running his fastball up to 95 mph. With the successful outing, Cueto improves to a 3.84 ERA and 1.25 WHIP on the season. He's tentatively slated to take the mound again in a favorable matchup on the road at Arizona on Tuesday.

Cueto yielded three runs on three hits and a walk over five innings in Friday's loss to Pittsburgh. He struck out seven and did not factor in the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Cueto allowed an RBI triple to Gregory Polanco in the second inning but most of the damage against him came via Bryan Reynolds' two-run homer in the third. He's given up 11 long balls in his last eight starts. The veteran righty saw his ERA climb to 4.09 with a 77:17 K:BB through 16 starts. Cueto is lined up for a tough home matchup against the Dodgers next week.

Cueto allowed one run on two hits and a walk while striking out five over five innings Sunday against the Cardinals. He did not factor into the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Cueto's lone mistake came in the third inning when he surrendered a solo home run to Paul DeJong, giving the Cardinals an early 1-0 lead. The 35-year-old certainly pitched well enough for the win but the Giants went cold for a second straight game, managing only a run. Cueto has had some trouble with the long ball. He allowed just two over his first eight starts but has given up 10 over his last seven. He'll take a 4.01 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 70:16 K:BB into his next start, which is projected to be at home against the Pirates this week.

Cueto (6-5) took the loss against St. Louis on Tuesday, hurling six innings and allowing four runs on nine hits and one walk while striking out eight.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander was jolted for a two-run, first-inning homer by Nolan Arenado. He gave up another pair of runs in the fourth inning and departed in the sixth trailing 4-3. The Giants were unable to catch up, sticking Cueto with his second straight loss. The veteran has produced unexciting numbers this season, including a 4.15 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 8.2 K/9. His next start will possibly come in a rematch versus the Cardinals immediately following the All-Star break.

Cueto (6-4) took the loss in Thursday's 5-3 defeat at the hands of the Diamondbacks, allowing five runs on six hits and two walks with five strikeouts in five innings.
EDGE Analysis
Cueto had 1-2-3 innings in the first and third but ran into trouble in his other three innings, permitting two runs in the second and fourth and one in the fifth. He was bit especially by the extra-base hit as five of the six hits he allowed went for multiple bases. Cueto's now been handed a decision in six straight starts, going 3-3 in the stretch with a 4.15 ERA and a 22/8 strikeout to walk ratio.

Cueto is feeling under the weather prior to his start Thursday against the Diamondbacks, but he is still expected to take the mound, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
There's no more detail available related to Cueto's potential illness, though there's also no indication at this point that his start is in jeopardy. Assuming that remains the case, he'll look to build on his last outing, when he threw seven scoreless innings.

Cueto (6-3) hurled seven scoreless innings against Oakland on Friday, allowing five hits and one walk while striking out six to take the win.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander held the Athletics to one extra-base hit (a double) and zero runs. He did so primarily by pitching to contact, as Oakland logged a modest 10 swinging strikes against him. Cueto's quality start was his second in as many games and fourth overall this season. He has yet to strike out more than seven batters in an outing but has managed a respectable 3.63 ERA and 6-3 record. Cueto's next start is tentatively scheduled to come at Arizona on Thursday.

Cueto (5-3) earned the win Friday against the Phillies after allowing three runs on six hits while fanning five across six innings. He also allowed two home runs.
EDGE Analysis
Cueto has allowed two homers in three straight outings and while that is slowly becoming an issue for the veteran hurler, he still got the job done in this one by posting his third quality start of the campaign. Cueto owns a 5.74 ERA in three starts this month, though, and he has given up at least three earned runs in four of his last five appearances. His next turn on the rotation should come next week at home against the Athletics.

Cueto (4-3) allowed five runs (four earned) on nine hits and three walks while striking out two in 5.1 innings to take the loss against the Nationals on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Cueto has now given up at least four runs in three of his last four starts, and the Nationals offense got hot early Sunday to put the right-hander in line for the loss. Across his first 10 starts of the season, the 35-year-old has posted a 4.00 ERA and 1.35 WHIP in 54 innings. He tentatively lines up to make his next start at home against the Phillies on Friday.
