Quantrill had not lost a start since July 5 to the Detroit Tigers and won his last 11 decisions during that span.

He had a good start, striking out home run leader Aaron Judge as the leadoff batter. He eventually gave up a solo home run to Yankees’s Harrison Bader in the bottom of the third inning to tie the game at one.

He let another run come in on a sacrifice fly in the fifth inning. Quantrill was eventually relieved during the bottom of the sixth by Trevor Stephan after his last pitch was a two-run home run from Anthony Lizzo that drove home Judge.

Cal is the son of former Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Paul Quantrill, spending six seasons with them.
