Former Royals teammates take Cueto deep in All-Star Game

Johnny Cueto pitched a complete game two-hitter in Game 2 of the World Series last year to help the Royals claim their crown over the Mets. But in the 87th MLB All-Star Game, the Royals didn't give Cueto any breaks.

In his first season with the Giants, Cueto got the call to start on the bump in the Midsummer Classic. Cueto cruised through the first inning, allowing only a Mike Trout single. The second inning was a much different story.

Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts started off the bottom of the second inning with a groundout to Cubs third baseman before Cueto faced his old Royals teammate Eric Hosmer.
