From Rotoworld: Quintana earned his sixth victory of the season on Sunday, limiting the Cardinals to three runs on five hits across six innings of work. The left-hander punched out seven on the night while issuing a pair of free passes. All of the damage against him came via the long ball, with Randal Grichuk clubbing a two-run homer and Paul DeJong adding on a solo shot. He’ll look to stay unbeaten as a member of the Cubs when he does battle against the Brewers in Milwaukee on Friday.
Suter held the Phillies to one run in six innings but had to settle for a no-decision in a game his team eventually won. He struck out five without issuing a base-on-balls. He allowed just five hits, one of which was an Odubel Herrera solo homer. He left the game with a 6-1 lead that was blown by the bullpen in rapid fashion. Suter spent time at Triple-A and in the Brewers’ bullpen earlier this year but is now solidly entrenched in the starting rotation. He has a 2.84 ERA and 1.24 WHIP in 12 games, including five starts. He has fanned 32 and walked 10 in 38 innings.
