Quintana allowed one hit and a walk over three scoreless frames against the Pirates on Monday. He did not factor in the decision.

EDGE Analysis

The 33-year-old was scheduled to split the start with Miles Mikolas and each pitcher threw three innings. Quintana ends his 2022 regular season with a strong 2.93 ERA through 32 starts with St. Louis and Pittsburgh. In 62.2 innings as a Cardinal, he posted a terrific 2.01 ERA with a 48:16 K:BB. Quintana allowed two or fewer runs in every appearance he made after the Cardinals acquired him.

Quintana is scheduled to start Monday's game against the Pirates in Pittsburgh, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Though Quintana will continue his streak of making all of his appearances this season as a starter, he won't be in line for a traditional outing Monday. Instead, manager Oliver Marmol told Rick Hummel of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch over the weekend that the lefty will likely work about three innings Monday before giving way to Miles Mikolas, who is expected to then cover three innings of his own. As a result, Mikolas may be the likelier candidate than Quintana to factor into any decision.

Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Quintana and Miles Mikolas will both pitch in Monday's game in Pittsburgh, with both starting pitchers scheduled to work about three innings, Rick Hummel of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

Marmol didn't specify which of the two pitchers will be designated as the starter Monday, but whomever works second will presumably have the better chance at factoring into any decision. With St. Louis having already punched its ticket to the postseason, Marmol isn't eager to overextend any of the team's key pitchers in advance of the Cardinals' playoff opener Friday. Since being acquired from the Pirates on Aug. 1, Quintana has posted a 2.11 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 48:15 K:BB across 59.2 innings, giving him a strong case to be included in the Cardinals' three- or four-man playoff rotation.

Quintana (6-7) took the loss Wednesday, allowing one run on four hits and two walks over five innings against Milwaukee. He struck out seven.

EDGE Analysis

Quintana surrendered the first run of the game on a single from Hunter Renfroe in the third inning but was otherwise blemish free. The lefty has allowed two runs or fewer in 13 straight starts, recording a 1.74 ERA and 1.08 WHIP over 72.1 innings. The 33-year-old has a 2.24 ERA and 1.08 WHIP over 92.1 innings at home as opposed to a 3.97 ERA and 1.41 WHIP over 70.1 innings on the road.

Quintana (6-6) earned the win during Friday's 11-0 victory over the Dodgers, allowing five hits while recording six strikeouts across 6.2 scoreless innings.

EDGE Analysis

Quintana limited the highest-scoring team in the majors to just five baserunners and didn't allow anyone past second base as Los Angeles failed to score for only the seventh time this season. The 33-year-old fired 64 of 101 pitches for strikes with 14 of the swinging variety en route to his second highest strikeout total since joining St. Louis at the trade deadline. Quintana hasn't permitted more than two earned runs in any of those 10 starts and has been especially dominant in September, surrendering just two runs across 25.1 innings this month. He carries a 16th-best 3.03 ERA into his next start, scheduled to come midweek against Pittsburgh.

Quintana allowed just two hits and hit one batter while striking out six over eight shutout innings in a no-decision in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader versus the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

The lone run of the game didn't score until the 11th inning, denying Quintana a win in easily his best start of the year. He's gone 2-1 across nine starts spanning 48 innings for the Cardinals, allowing no more than two earned runs in any of those outings. The southpaw trimmed his ERA to 3.16 with a 1.25 WHIP and 125:44 K:BB through 151 innings across 29 starts between the Cardinals and the Pirates this year. He's lined up for a road start versus the Dodgers next week.

Quintana allowed a run on four hits and a walk while striking out four in 5.2 innings in a 4-3 win Sunday in Pittsburgh. He did not factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

The lone mark against Quintana came in the third inning when two singles and a fielder's choice led to a run. He then retired 10 of 11 batters before allowing a two-out single in the sixth and being removed. He has allowed two earned runs or fewer in each of his eight starts for St. Louis and has a 2.93 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and only one homer allowed in 40 innings for the team. His next start will likely be next weekend against Cincinnati.

Quintana (5-6) earned the win Tuesday against the Nationals. He allowed one run on five hits over five innings with five strikeouts and did not walk a batter

EDGE Analysis

The veteran southpaw was sharp Tuesday, as the only damage came via a couple of hits in the top of the second inning. This was Quintana's first win in his last five starts and second since being traded to St. Louis. The five strikeouts Quintana recorded were also his highest in that five-start span. He will try to stay in the win column in his next start, which is lined up to be against the Pirates this weekend.

Quintana pitched 4.2 innings, surrendering two runs on seven hits while walking a batter and striking out one in Wednesday's extra-inning victory over the Reds. He did not factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Quintana pitched two scoreless innings to open Wednesday's contest before the Reds were able to scratch across two runs in the bottom of the third. He was later removed from the game after giving up a two-out single to Nick Senzel in the bottom of the fifth frame. Quintana has not been quite as sharp since he was traded to the Cardinals on Aug. 1, he has compiled a 3.38 ERA with an inflated 1.53 WHIP over 29.1 innings in six starts.

Quintana (4-6) took the loss Friday versus Atlanta, allowing four runs (two earned) on seven hits and two walks while striking out three over five innings.

EDGE Analysis

Quintana's decent pitching was nullified by an error that allowed Atlanta to scrape together two runs in the fourth inning. It's the second start in a row that the Cardinals' defense has made Quintana's job harder. He's allowed no more than two earned runs in any of his five starts since joining St. Louis from Pittsburgh at the trade deadline. Overall, the southpaw has a 3.45 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 108:42 K:BB through 127.2 innings across 25 starts.
