Behind José Quintana’s stellar seven shutout innings, the Cubs blanked the Marlins at Marlins Park Tuesday night, 4-0.
Quintana had a poor 5.25 ERA in two previous career games against the Marlins. But on this occasion, the veteran left-hander mixed his pitches unpredictably and frequently got ahead in the count (first-pitch strikes to 21 of 27 batters faced).
Different story for Pablo López. Similar to his prior three starts, López coasted through opponents the first time around the starting lineup.
