Quintana has quietly been superb since mid-June. In 11 starts since June 15, he's 5-3 with a 3.16 ERA and .200 OBA. Not exactly "superb". He has a stinker every once in a while.

Mike started, pitched three scoreless innings, and then it all fell apart. His numbers: 3.1IP 7H 7R 7ER 2BB 4K His season's ERA is now 5.74 They're down in the seventh, so he's heading for the loss. Unless a miracle happens, he'll be 6-8. Later
