Reds' Johnny Cueto looks like Johnny Cueto

GOODYEAR, Ariz. — Johnny Cueto looked like Johnny Cueto in his 2015 spring training debut.

Cueto pitched two scoreless innings. He allowed a hit and struck out two.

"Thank God, I felt really well today," Cueto said. "I worked with location. Everything I threw I wanted to keep down, and that's what I did today. Everything worked the way I wanted."

Cueto could have gone out for another inning.

"I could have thrown more innings if they wanted," Cueto said. "But they wanted me to throw 25 pitches. I actually had 25 pitches thrown. That was good enough."

Cueto is coming off a year in which he went 20-9 with a 2.25 ERA and finished second in the National League Cy Young voting to Clayton Kershaw of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Cueto is lined up to start Opening Day against the Pittsburgh Pirates on April 6.
