The fact that former White Sox pitcher Jose Quintana was the pitcher for the Cubs makes the win that much more rewarding.
Reynaldo Lopez earned the W, making his record 7-9. His final line on the night was impressive. He went seven innings with five hits and one run. He struck out eight Cubbies and walked one. With this performance, his ERA is 3.94.
So far, in September, Lopez has pitched in four games. He’s last through seven innings in three of those. In the other, he went six. He has only two earned runs this entire month and has three wins.
