Jose Quintana (hamstring) struggles with command early Wednesday
by David Leisering | Rockies Correspondent | Thu, Apr 16th 6:52am EDT
Jose Quintana (hamstring) returned to the Rockies' rotation on Wednesday and lasted just 3.2 innings in suffering his first loss of the year.
Fantasy Impact:
Quintana made his first start since March 29 and allowed three runs on three hits while walking four and striking out only one. The lefthander wiggled his way out of major damage in the first inning as he walked the first three batters to load the bases with nobody out. But, Quintana got back-to-back sacrifice flies from Christian Walker and Cam Smith to keep the Astros to just two runs. He served up a home run to Yordan Alvarez in the third for the final run he, and the Rockies' staff, allowed. Quintana threw 75 pitches in his return - 41 for strikes - but found a better rhythm after a shaky start. He is 0-1 with a 5.63 ERA and a 3:8 K:BB ratio through eight innings. He's tentatively lined up to face the Dodgers, at home, on Monday.
