CLEVELAND (AP) — Johnny Cueto won for the first time in four starts for Cincinnati, combining with four Reds relievers to shut out the Cleveland Indians 5-0 on Saturday night.

Cueto (6-8) constantly worked out of trouble to win for the first time since June 6 at Florida. He struck out Sal Fasano with the bases loaded to end the second inning, left two runners stranded in both the fourth and sixth, and got key double plays in the first and fifth.

The rookie right-hander gave up five hits, walked three and hit two batters over 6 1-3 innings.
