After struggling a little in the 1st inning and giving up an early run, Jose Quintana dug deep and pitched wonderfully Sunday. He matched a career high, throwing 121 pitches as he went seven strong. He allowed two runs on six hits and walked four while striking out six.
The Cubs offense did a great job as well, scoring two in the 4th inning off of Miles Mikolas to tie it. They then scored enough runs off of the Cardinals bullpen to have a comfortable lead by the top of the 9th. It was a great way to capture a rare five-game series win (Box score).
