From Rotoworld: Cueto gave up three runs in six-plus innings and took a loss to the Phillies despite turning in a quality start on Saturday. He fanned nine batters and did not issue a walk, but he gave up eight base hits, including a solo homer by Tommy Joseph. He held his opponent scoreless through five innings before allowing one in the sixth. He allowed singles to the first two batters in the seventh before being relieved by Hunter Strickland, who promptly allowed both of Cueto’s runners to score. He falls to 5-5 with a 4.38 ERA in 12 starts on the season. He has a very nice 77/18 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 76 innings of work.
Espino took the no-decision in his lone start this season. That came on May 19 when he faced the Cubs in Chicago. He allowed three runs on five hits while striking out three and walking none over 4.0 innings of work. Milwaukee upset Chicago 6-3 in that game.
