Johnny Cueto, RHP (5-7, 5.19)
Reds (35-42)
Andy Pettitte, LHP (7-5, 4.29)
Yankees (41-35)
Scouting Report:
Reds: Cueto pitched seven strong innings but came up short in a 3-1 Reds loss to the Dodgers on Tuesday. While allowing two earned runs and five hits with three walks and two strikeouts, Cueto was much better than his previous six-run, eight-walk outing vs. St. Louis. He paid for walking the No. 8 hitter in the third inning, as he later scored the game's first run. But Cueto did a nice job working out of a fourth-inning, bases-loaded
jam by getting an inning-ending double play.
Yankees: Pettitte will look to keep his rebound going as he works against the Reds lineup. Pettitte's last start was dominant, as he hurled seven innings of scoreless ball to beat the Padres on Tuesday, 8-0. The left-hander has allowed just one run over his past 15 innings, good for a 0.60 ERA. He has made nine career starts against the Reds, most from his days in the National League, faring 3-3 with a 4.05 ERA. He has not faced Cincinnati since 2006.
