The Cincinnati Reds will face the Washington Nationals WATCH FREE: Live Streaming Online Baseball from Nationals Park Tonight at 7:05 PM ET

The major league's ERA leader, Johnny Cueto, will seek his fifth consecutive victory Tuesday night and spoil Doug Fister's home debut for the Nationals.

Joey Votto remained in Cincinnati and missed his fourth straight game Monday, and the Reds (20-23) are hoping their All-Star first baseman can avoid a trip to the disabled list because of a strained left quadriceps.
Jay Bruce isn't eligible to come off the disabled list (knee) until Wednesday.

Cincinnati is batting .208 and averaging 2.8 runs in its last 11 games, and hitting .197 with 2.4 runs in its last nine on the road.

Cueto (4-2, 1.25 ERA) will try to keep the pressure off Reds' hitters in his first road start since April 27. The right-hander is 1-0 with a 1.13 ERA in three outings away from home this season and 4-0 with a 0.88 ERA in his last six overall with three complete games.

Cueto is 3-0 with a 2.67 ERA in his last four starts against Washington (23-21) and gave up three runs over six innings in his only matchup last year, a 6-3 home win April 7.

Fister will face Cincinnati for the first time when he makes his third start for the Nationals. The right-hander gave up one run over seven innings and struck out six Wednesday in Arizona but did not get a decision in a 5-1 victory.

Fister (0-1, 4.76 ERA) was tagged for seven runs and nine hits -- including three homers -- over 4 1/3 innings in his debut with the team, an 8-0 loss to Oakland on May 9. He started the season on the disabled list due to a strained right lat.
