Jose Quintana has a knack for bouncing back from bad starts, and he did exactly that Thursday night in Queens. He came out of the gate hot, striking out the side in the 1st and setting down the first seven batters he faced.
That 3rd inning would turn into an adventure, as Q loaded the bases on a walk, double, and walk before striking out Jose Bautista and inducing a ground-out from Michael Conforto. Quintana would allow only two more hits, but the bullpen gave up only one and the Mets really had no shot after the 5th inning.
