He got two outs on six pitches before pitcher Jhoulys Chacin singled. Dexter Fowler singled and Mark Ellis walked to bring Gonzalez to the plate. "Johnny was dealing," Reds manager Dusty Baker said. "He had an easy inning going but he made a mistake to their pitcher, that put him in trouble. It cost him another 15-20 pitches or he could have gone farther." In the past, those bumps upset Cueto more than the bad chicken wings. But the maturing right-hander is getting better at handling those situations. "I was concentrating on not overthrowing to get myself out of danger," said Cueto, who has become Cincinnatis ace. Said Baker: "Hes still learning. Hes pitching well while hes learning but he learned today that every batter counts, preventing the lineup from turning over is important." Aroldis Chapman allowed the first two Rockies to reach in the eighth before getting Gonzalez to ground into a double play and striking out Eliezer Alfonzo. Francisco Cordero allowed Seth Smiths 12th home run of the season leading off the ninth, then earned his 22nd save in 27 chances.
