Cueto, Hill meet again on MLB.TV
- Updated: September 20, 2016
The Dodgers and Giants will give baseball fans another enticing starting pitching matchup tonight as Johnny Cueto opposes Rich Hill at Dodger Stadium in a clash of division rivals and postseason contenders.
Cueto and the Giants are looking up at the Dodgers in the National League West, though San Francisco is tied with St. Louis for a Wild Card spot. Meanwhile, Hill is one start removed from tossing seven perfect innings for the Dodgers.
Today’s full schedule of Major League games also features a number of contests with Wild Card implications in both leagues.
And the best place to catch all the action is on MLB.TV.

Cueto will face the Dodgers for the fifth time this year, his first with the Giants. After allowing six runs in his first start against Los Angeles on April 6, Cueto has given up two runs or fewer in the three starts since. He’s coming off a complete-game win over the Cardinals.
Stat that matters: For his career, Cueto is 14-14 with a 3.93 ERA in September-October, which are his worst figures for any …
