Johnny Cueto is undefeated through his first two starts with the San Francisco Giants. However, he'll look for a cleaner outing this time against the Los Angeles Dodgers than he experienced last weekend.
Scott Kazmir certainly hopes for a better performance than he put forth against Cueto and Giants.
The two veterans match up for the second time in seven days Saturday night when the Dodgers try for a sixth consecutive home win over the Giants.
Cueto (2-0, 4.50 ERA) allowed five first-inning runs Sunday against Los Angeles (7-4) in his first home start, but just one over the next six before leaving a wild 9-6 victory.
