Jose Quintana acing starting role with Pirates

Jose Quintana has been a successful reclamation project for the Pittsburgh Pirates rotation.

Anchoring a rotation filled with young and inexperienced starters, Quintana has set a high bar for the Bucs' arms to attempt to match.

Quintana has compiled a 2.70 ERA spanning 30 innings. In six starts, Quintana is 1-1 with 25 strikeouts and a 1.20 WHIP. He has only allowed two home runs and walked 13 batters in his first season with the Pirates. Quintana is just short of the innings qualification for total ERA, but would slot tied for 19th with Kansas City’s Brad Keller.
