Sunday afternoon, the Cincinnati Reds will send Johnny Cueto to the hill as they square off against the New York Yankees and Hiroki Kuroda. It will be the 21^st start of the year for Cueto and the 20^th for Kuroda.

Johnny Cueto got the victory in his last outing and that took his record to 10 - 6 with a 2.13 ERA. In the win, Cueto gave up 3 runs and 5 hits (including a home run) in 6 innings of work. He walked 2 batters and struck out 7. Cueto has thrown over 100 pitches in 6 of his last 7 starts and that could be a factor in the 2^nd half of the season. Last year, Cueto posted a 5 - 2 record with a 2.82 ERA in 11 starts.

In 2013, Cueto didn't face the Yankees but he has seen many of their hitters before. He has held the 8 Yankees that he has faced to a .160 average with 8 hits, 4 homers and 6 RBIs in 50 at-bats.

Hiroki Kuroda didn't factor in the decision his last time out and that held his record at 6 - 6 with a 4.10 ERA. In that outing, Kuroda surrendered 2 runs on 3 hits in 7 innings while striking out 3 without issuing any walks. In 2013, Kuroda had a rotten 2^nd half of the season and will look to do better this time around. He finished 2013 with an 11 - 13 record and a 3.31 ERA in 32 starts.

Last season, Kuroda didn't face the Reds but he has faced a few of the Cincinnati hitters in the past. The 7 Reds that Kuroda has faced are batting .258 with 16 hits, 2 home runs and 5 RBIs in 62 at-bats.
