Three Way Race

Johnny Cueto came out on top in a battle with Tom Koehler in Miami as Koehler allowed two unearned runs to Cueto’s one earned, the Reds taking the game 3-1. Cueto’s seven inning, nine strikeout win widened the lead over Adam Wainwright in NL Cy Young Tracker points. Clayton Kershaw, however, kept pace, with a complete game, 2-1 Dodgers win over the Braves. Kershaw also allowed a run and struck out nine, but his nine innings means he picked up a point on Cueto, and now trails him by 7.2 points, and is just 2.3 points behind Wainwright for second place.

Julio Teheran also pitched a complete game in the Braves loss, pitched well, but lost ground in the Cy Young race.
