Johnny Cueto and two relievers made a pair of first-inning runs stand up and the Reds salvaged a split of their four-game series against the Rockies with a 2-1 win on Thursday, according to an Associated Press report. Cueto, who blamed bad chicken wings for an upset stomach while pitching a season-low 3 2-3 innings in his last start at Wrigley Field, bounced back to throw three-hit ball for seven shutout innings. He took over the NL ERA lead, lowering his mark from 2.06 to 1.94.
