Syndergaard silences Reds bats, Johnny Cueto can't do it all. Reds lose, 2-1

The Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game

This was a thoroughly uninteresting game for the Reds offense, which is really no surprise since Johnny Cueto was on the mound. And for that, I'm giving it (again) to Cueto.

We have a really high standard for Johnny. To the point where a 6 inning, 2 hit, 2 earned effort leaves me wanting more. Due to all of the times that he looks superhuman, I want him to be superhuman every time. He can't and he wont, and when I look at the numbers, I realize how irrational I am for expecting more.
