The starting rotation for the Angels (13-14) has struggled for the most part this season. It’s not the first time in recent years and the trend has continued into 2021. Among the biggest culprits of the issues has been Jose Quintana, but manager Joe Maddon is not giving up on the lefty.
It was a tale of two times through the order for Quintana during his latest outing in a 7-3 loss to the Rays on Monday.
Through the first two innings, Quintana retired six batters in a row while racking up five strikeouts.
