Sunday afternoon, the Miami Marlins will send Brad Hand (2 -3 -1) to the mound to take on the Cincinnati Reds and Johnny Cueto (13 - 6, 2.04 ERA). It will be the 10^th start and 24^th appearance for Hand and the 25^th start for Cueto.

Brad Hand had a decent start his last time out but he still didn't get the decision. Hand allowed 2 runs on 6 hits through 6.1 innings of work as he walked a batter and struck out 4. Hand is 2 - 2 in his last 6 outings and he hasn't allowed more than 3 runs in any of those starts. In 2013, Hand started just 2 games and appeared in 5 more en route to a 1 - 1 record and a 3.05 ERA.

Hand has never faced the Cincinnati Reds and will need every scrap of info that the scouting report can offer if he wants to pick up a victory.

Johnny Cueto notched another victory in his last start after going the distance for the 4^th time this season. In the win, Cueto allowed 2 runs on 5 hits as he fanned 6 and gave up 2 walks. When Cueto takes the mound, the Reds almost always have a chance to win. He hasn't lost a game in over a month and is 7 - 1 in his last 10 outings. In 2013, Cueto was 5 -2 with an ERA of 2.82 in 11 starts.

Last season, Cueto didn't face the Marlins but he has started against them this season. In that outing just a few weeks ago, Cueto got the win behind a 7 inning, 1 run and 4 hit effort.
