Giants' Johnny Cueto on a 75-80 pitch count on Friday

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Johnny Cueto is on a pitch count Friday against the St. Louis Cardinals.

What It Means:

Cueto was just activated from the disabled list for his start tonight, and he hasn't pitched since July 14. He likely won't exceed 80 pitches in his return to the hill.

Our models project Cueto for 6 1/3 innings pitched, with 3.1 runs allowed, 4.2 strikeouts, and 2.2 walks.
