Quintana is looking strong through 2 innings: 4 K, 1 BB, a weak fly ball and a weak grounder to Rizzo.

It's sad when 2 strong innings by our starter is noteworthy.

Caratini doubles off the wall, improving on his .545 average.

How’s Maldonado hitting?

Caratini continues to make me look bad—breaks up the no hitter with a double that was almost a homer.

I hope it continues. But last year at this time, people were posting “Almora can’t hit righties” every time he got a hit. Didn’t hear that much after his BABIP vs. RHP fell below .400 and it became clear he still couldn’t hit RHP.

That said, Caratini has looked different in his small sample so far. He’s hitting the ball hard, which he never did last year.

As easy as it is to mock Darvish - and considering he's been injured most of his tenure and pretty bad most of the rest of it - he didn't pitch badly at all yesterday.  He was cruising, in fact, and Maddon pulled him after two infield hits and 77 pitches, and Ryan let both runners score.  Dumb decision, the latest of many.

6 straight Ks for Schwarber.  All swinging.

This is the Quintana they thought they were getting for Jimenez. 3 1/2 years of this guy in a championship window is worth low minors Jimenez at the time of the trade.

That's gotta be a new way to fail.

He's been injured or horrible since joining the Cubs.  His highest game score with the Cubs is 69.  For reference Tyler Chatwood highest is 74, Alec Mills is 67.  He has great stuff, but the Cubs are sure treating him like he is mentally weak.

Horrible play by Baez, who has made so great plays.

Quintana is dealing.

Cubs scored a run.

Heyward blooper bounces off 3 pirates in short left.

Descalso double drives him in.
