The 12 strikeouts are the most strikeouts in a Cubs debut on the road in franchise history and tie for the highest strikeout total in a debut.
How crazy is that while I'm thinking about it? Out of all the Cubs pitchers to make their debut, Quintana now has to share a record with Matt f*cking Garza and his stupid goatee. When you look at what some of the other members of the Cubs rotation did in their debut, Quintana's start looks that much better.
Hendricks: 6 IP, 5 H, 4 R, 3 BB, 7 K
Lester: 4.1 IP, 8 H, 3 R, 2 BB, 6 K
Lackey: 6 IP, 8 H, 6 R, 1 BB, 4 K
Obviously, this is only one start for Q but I think it's safe to say that he's made a wonderful first impression on Cubs fans everywhere (even the ones who still think he's just "an average pitcher.")
