Victor Vodnik pitched a perfect ninth inning with a pair of strikeouts to earn his fourth save of the season in game one of a doubleheader against the Mets.
Fantasy Impact: Vodnik, who allowed five runs in two-thirds of an inning his last time out, pitched a 1-2-3 ninth in game one to preserve a 3-1 win for the Rockies. In 11 appearances this season, that was Vodnik's first perfect outing. The righthander has a 6.94 ERA and a 1.97 WHIP in 11.2 innings this season. He appears to still be the Colorado closer, but his hold on the job is tenuous at best.

Jose Quintana went 5.1 innings in game one of a doubleheader with the Mets on Sunday. The lefthander allowed one run on two hits, walked two, and struck out five in the Rockies' 3-1 victory in game one.
Fantasy Impact: Quintana easily had his best start of the season on Sunday, allowing a season-low one run while going a season-long 5.1 innings. He also struck out five on the day after entering with just four strikeouts through his first three starts. The only blemish on his line was a solo home run by Tyrone Taylor in the fifth. Quintana is 1-2 with a 4.91 ERA but still has a 9:11 K:BB ratio through 18.1 innings. He's scheduled to pitch again in a tough home matchup against the Braves on Friday.
