Jose Quintana To Start Game 3 Of Wild-Card Series
1 month agoNew York Mets veteran left-hander Jose Quintana will start Game 3 of the Wild-Card series versus the Milwaukee Brewers at American Family Field on Thursday. In a win-or-go-home game, just about everyone will be available to pitch for the Mets. Quintana certainly lacks high velocity and strikeout stuff, but the 35-year-old southpaw was decent for the Mets in 2024 in his 13th MLB season, going 10-10 with a 3.75 ERA (4.56 FIP), a 1.25 WHIP and a 135:63 K:BB in 170 1/3 innings over 31 starts. He faced the Brewers twice this year, ironically in his very first start of the year on March 29 and his last start on Sept. 18. He lost both contests but didn't pitch all that poorly, allowing four earned runs on 11 hits (one homer) while striking out 13 and walking four. Quintana gave up two earned runs in 4 1/3 innings with nine K's his last time out against Milwaukee last Saturday. If things go south early, Quintana will have a short leash in a must-win game to advance to the NLDS this weekend.
