Quintana struggles in loss on Sunday
Jose Quintana walked four and gave up three runs in five innings Sunday in a loss to the Angels. Quintana has almost always given the Mets a chance in recent months, but the offense totaled just two runs in this one. Things could have been worse for Quintana, who made his own trouble with the walks. He gave up flyballs to Jo Adell and Charles LeBlanc that would have been homers in 16 and 13 ballparks, respectively, but they went for a double and an out today.
Winn blasts two-run homer in loss on Sunday night
Masyn Winn blasted a two-run homer on Sunday night, but it wasn’t enough to lead the Cardinals to victory over the Cubs. The 22-year-old shortstop opened the scoring in the ballgame with a 402-foot (100.5-mph EV) two-run blast off of Justin Steele in the fourth inning. That was the extent of the Cardinals’ offense in the game. Winn finished the night 1-for-4 and is now hitting .279/.325/.414 with nine long balls and 41 RBI on the season.
