Tigers Shut Down Rangers: Greene's Homer Seals Win
5 Jul
Summary
- Quantrill surrendered three runs, two earned, on three hits and a walk.
- Riley Greene hit a two-run homer in the first inning.
- Texas hitters managed only three hits in the shutout loss.
Right-hander Quantrill (3-1) was charged with the loss Saturday, allowing three runs (two earned) on three hits and a walk over five innings in a 3-0 defeat to the Tigers. He recorded two strikeouts during his outing.
Greene's two-run homer in the first inning set the tone for the Tigers. Quantrill threw 42 of his 66 pitches for strikes, but the Rangers' offense could only manage three hits, leaving him with no room for error.
This marked Quantrill's longest outing of the year in both innings and pitch count. Since joining the rotation three starts ago, he has posted a 2.45 ERA, a 0.91 WHIP, and an 8:2 K:BB ratio over 11 innings.
Quantrill is scheduled for one more start before the All-Star break, which is expected to be at home next weekend against the Astros.
