Jose Quintana savoring 7-start pizza roll for Cubs
Photo by Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images Jose Quintana (10-7) is the first Cub to reach 10 wins this season, earning his sixth consecutive victory with seven exceptional innings against the Athletics Wednesday.Must be the pizza.
“Oh, yeah,” Jose Quintana said after pitching the Cubs to a 10-1 victory over the Athletics on Wednesday. “Seven games after that, right?”
Seven games. Seven Cubs victories.
All of it starting with the day in Cincinnati in June that Quintana called from the bullpen phone to the dugout, and then played along with a media wise guy and “ordered” a pepperoni pizza.
