Cal Quantrill pitched well and he got a hit — the only thing he couldn’t do was close out his own game.
That’s not entirely his own fault. Cleveland is slowly stretching him out to be a starter, and he’s pitching on short rest as it is. He held the Pirates scoreless over his five innings of work, with two walks and two strikeouts and a heavy dose of sinkers and sliders. And yes, in top of the fifth he even managed a hit, hustling out a ground ball to the shortstop that was close enough to be initially called out but reversed upon video review.
