Cueto pitched a three-hitter for his second shutout of the season, and Brandon Phillips hit a three-run homer and a double, leading the Cincinnati Reds over the San Diego Padres 5-0 on Thursday in the first game of a day-night doubleheader. Cueto is the first major league pitcher to go at least seven innings and allow two or fewer runs in each of his first nine starts since the Philadelphia Athletics' Harry Krause in 1909, according to information provided the Reds by the Elias Sports Bureau. Phillips homered off Ian Kennedy (2-5) and Cozart singled home two runs, part of a three-hit game for the shortstop. Tyson Ross (5-3) allowed three hits in seven innings of the second game, and the Padres hit a season-high three homers. Left-hander Jeff Francis (0-1), called up to start the game, allowed three runs in five innings. San Diego's Seth Smith singled, extending his hitting streak to a career-high 10 games. Cincinnati's Todd Frazier singled in both games and extended his career-best streak to 14 games, but was frustrated that the Reds couldn't do more to get the sweep. The Padres acquired OF Jake Goebbert in a deal that sent utility player Kyle Blanks to Oakland.
