SCOTTSDALE, Arizona — I got back from the game at Sloan Park Saturday afternoon just in time to turn on my TV and see Jason Kipnis hit a two-out, first-inning single to left field off Jose Quintana.
There you have it: The entire story of the Indians offense off Quintana. He retired the next 16 hitters in a row, finishing up with six one-hit innings with eight strikeouts. Remember Quintana’s dominant shutout last September in Milwaukee? This outing at the very least matched that, and might have even been a little bit better, and this against quite a number of Cleveland regulars.
