Jose Quintana went 4.1 innings in his first start in a Colorado uniform on Sunday and the lefthander allowed two runs on four hits with four walks and two strikeouts. Miami earned a 4-3 win over the Rockies to complete the three-game sweep.
Fantasy Impact
Quintana was given a 3-0 lead in the top of the first inning and, while he did leave with a 3-2 lead, did not pitch long enough to factor in the decision. The veteran lefthander needed 78 pitches to get through 4.1 innings with just over half (42 pitches) thrown for strikes. Quintana is tentatively scheduled to pitch at home next weekend against the Phillies.

Fantasy Impact
Quintana spent the 2025 season with the Milwaukee Brewers, making 24 starts and posting a 3.96 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 89 strikeouts across 131.2 innings. He now faces a tough challenge pitching in the NL West, including a home ballpark known as a hitter’s paradise—especially difficult for pitchers like Quintana, who struggled to generate strikeouts, posting just a 16% strikeout rate in 2025.
