José Quintana is on 'En Fuego' Watch | Talkin Baseball

José Quintana of the Chicago Cubs is on a roll, delivering four straight quality starts in August and making a strong case to be considered "en fuego" - or "on fire." In his most recent outing against the Philadelphia Phillies, Quintana was dominant, pitching six innings with 14 strikeouts. Viewers can see Phillies stars Bryce Harper and Rhys Hoskins left watching helplessly as Quintana's pitches blow by them. Over the last four starts, the left-hander has thrown 26 innings with a sparkling 1.38 ERA. His success has come at a critical time, as the National League Central division race remains tight between the Cubs, St. Louis Cardinals and Milwaukee Brewers. Quintana's performance could have a significant impact on which team claims the division title. Prior to his impressive August run, Quintana also shined in a start against the Phillies, going seven innings with seven strikeouts and zero earned runs. In that game, Quintana received stellar defensive support from teammate Javier Báez, who makes a spectacular backhand flip play that has the young fans in attendance at the Little League Classic cheering in delight. Quintana's recent success is not just about his own pitching dominance, however. His younger brother is also honored, as Quintana is wearing a "Lilo" jersey - a shoutout to his sibling. The broadcast also captures a humorous moment where young fans at the Little League Classic are seen mocking Chicago Cubs closer Craig Kimbrel after he surrenders a home run. As the NL Central race heats up, Quintana's strong August performance has the Chicago Cubs feeling confident about their playoff push. The left-hander's ability to consistently deliver quality starts has been a key factor in keeping his team in contention. With continued excellence from Quintana on the mound, the Cubs may very well find themselves atop the division when the regular season comes to a close.
