New York Mets Lefty Becomes Second Player in Last 110 Years of History to Accomplish This Feat
The New York Mets are headed to the NLCS thanks in part to the efforts of Jose Quintana.
The New York Mets punched their ticket to the National League Championship Series on Wednesday night by beating the Philadelphia Phillies in Game 4 of the Division Series.
The 4-1 win was punctuated by a grand slam from superstar shortstop Francisco Lindor in the sixth inning, which completed yet another Mets comeback.
In addition to Lindor’s excellence at the plate, starting pitcher Jose Quintana was excellent on the mound. The veteran lefty went 5.0 innings, surrendering one unearned run on just two hits. He walked two and struck out six while also making some great playoff history.
The 35-year-old Quintana has a 2.43 ERA in seven career playoff appearances. He’s also got a 0.94 WHIP over 29.2 innings.
This regular season, he went 10-10 with a 3.75 ERA, making 31 starts and tossing 170.1 innings.
