Rotowire
Quintana (10-10) allowed two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out nine over 4.1 innings to take the loss versus the Brewers on Saturday.

Quintana has been dominant lately, allowing just four runs (three earned) across 36.1 innings over his last six starts of the regular season. His nine strikeouts Saturday were a season high. He ends the regular season with a 3.75 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 135:63 K:B over 170.1 innings spanning 31 starts.

Mets' Jose Quintana: Picks up seventh victory
Rotowire
Quintana (7-9) earned the win over the White Sox on Saturday, allowing two runs (one earned) on six hits and three walks while striking out six batters over five innings.
Quintana was staked to a three-run lead in the top of the first inning and never let Chicago catch up. The southpaw needed 98 pitches to get through five frames and thus wasn't able to go deep enough to notch a second straight quality start, but he was otherwise effective in holding the White Sox without an extra-base hit and yielding just one earned run. Quintana had a rough four-game stretch to begin August during which he posted an 0-3 record and an 8.27 ERA, but he bounced back in his final two starts of the month, allowing just one earned run across 11.1 frames.

Rotowire
Quintana didn't factor into the decision Thursday against the A's, allowing four runs on seven hits and four walks over four innings. He struck out one.
Quintana struggled for most of Thursday's outing, though he'd manage to hold Oakland scoreless through the first three innings, despite loading the bases twice. However, the A's made the left-hander pay in the fourth, when JJ Bleday launched a grand slam following a pair of two-out walks. It's the third time in five starts that Quintana has issued four or more walks -- he's now allowed 12 runs over 15.2 innings in his last three outings. Overall, Quintana is 6-8 on the year with a 4.26 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 103:50 K:BB across 129 innings.

Mets' Jose Quintana: Takes seventh loss
Rotowire
Quintana (6-7) allowed three runs on three hits and four walks while striking out four over five innings to take the loss versus the Angels on Sunday.
Neither Quintana nor opposing starter Griffin Canning had great control Sunday, but the Angels were able to get more done. A wild pitch allowed one run to score, and the other two runs on Quintana's line came via sacrifice flies. Control issues have been a an off-and-on thing for the southpaw recently -- he has issued three-plus walks in four of his last seven starts, though he's given up more than two runs just twice in that span. The 35-year-old is now at a 3.95 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 94:44 K:BB through 118.1 innings over 22 starts this season. Quintana's next start is projected to be at Seattle.

Quintana is scheduled to make his August first start against a former team, the Angels, on the road this weekend.

The veteran lefty managed to get only 50 of his 94 pitches over the plate, but Quintana's wildness may have helped him avoid hard contact aside from a solo homer by Gleyber Torres. Quintana has given up two runs or fewer in six of his last seven outings, posting a 1.98 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 41:16 K:BB through 41 innings over that stretch.

Rotowire
Quintana (4-5) picked up the win in Tuesday's 7-5 victory over the Nationals, allowing only one hit and one walk over seven scoreless innings. He struck out five.

The stingy performances have lowered his ERA on the season to 3.91, the first time it's been below 4.00 since late April.
