The rain didn't matter. The cold didn't matter. The fact that he was making his MLB debut didn't matter. Johnny Cueto was on fire.
He threw seven innings. The first five were perfect. He gave up a solo home run to Justin Upton to lead off the sixth. That ended the perfecto, but didn't quell the magic. He struck out ten Diamondbacks and didn't walk anyone. The HR was the only hit he gave up. He was amazing. It was fun to watch. Cueto was pouring in 93-96 mph gas and mixing in a deadly slider and change to baffle the D-back hitters.
Most impressive stat of the game....92 pitches, 68 for strikes.
