Quintana surrendered six runs (five earned) on seven hits and no walks while striking out one batter across 1.1 innings against the Tigers on Thursday. He did not factor into the decision.
Making his first start since May 30th, Quintana failed to silence Detroit's bats and was lifted early following his 29th pitch. After struggling through his first nine starts of the year, the southpaw spent three weeks on the injured list and moved to the bullpen once he returned in June. Quintana was given the opportunity to rejoin the rotation with Patrick Sandoval (back) on the shelf. In 10 starts this season, Quintana has put together an 8.23 ERA and 2.06 WHIP while posting a 3.86 ERA in 13 relief outings.
