SAN FRANCISCO, June 10 (UPI) -- Johnny Cueto teamed with two relievers on a four-hitter Thursday that gave the Cincinnati Reds a 3-0 victory over San Francisco.
Cueto (3-2) shut down the Giants over seven innings, allowing all four San Francisco hits while striking out eight. Nick Masset and Francisco Cordero each worked a perfect relief inning with Cordero earning his 12th save.
The Giants had their lead over Arizona in the National League West trimmed to one game.
Cincinnati took the lead in the fourth when Scott Rolen doubled with two out against Madison Bumgarner and scored on a single up the middle by Jonny Gomes.
It remained a 1-1 contest until Joey Votto scored in the eighth on a bases-loaded passed ball charged to Eli Whiteside. Brandon Phillips singled in the final run in the ninth.
Bumgarner (2-8) suffered the loss, giving up a lone run on eight hits in seven innings.
