Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol has named left-hander Jose Quintana Friday's Game 1 starter for the wild card series against the Philadelphia Phillies. It will be his first postseason start since the 2017 NLCS with the Chicago Cubs.

One of the major pieces acquired at this year's trade deadline, Quintana, 33, has been dominant for the Cardinals over 12 starts.
