Cueto’s return to Cincy part of MLB.TV slate
- Updated: May 2, 2016
Johnny Cueto will be pitching in familiar territory when his Giants open a three-game series in Cincinnati tonight. Cueto will take the mound at the Great American Ball Park for the first time while wearing an opposing uniform, facing the club that signed him out of the Dominican Republic in 2004.

He’s logged at least seven innings in each of his five starts with San Francisco and is coming off a shutout vs. the Padres in which he struck out a season-best 11 batters. Cueto’s opponent tonight will be one of the players he was traded from Cincinnati to Kansas City for — left-hander Brandon Finnegan.
“Isn’t baseball funny that it’s Finnegan against Cueto?” Reds manager Bryan Price said. “It will be a good matchup. I’m sure …
