José Buttó - Notches save Saturday Butto earned a save against the White Sox on Saturday, allowed one run on three hits in one inning.
Impact The Mets held a three-run lead heading into the bottom of the ninth inning and turned to Butto to close things down. The right-hander didn't cruise, giving up a run on a trio of hits and allowing the tying run to reach first base, but he was ultimately successful in converting his third save of the campaign. Butto isn't a threat to Edwin Diaz's role as closer; Diaz was simply unavailable after pitching on three straight days.

Jose Quintana - Picks up seventh victory Quintana (7-9) earned the win over the White Sox on Saturday, allowing two runs (one earned) on six hits and three walks while striking out six batters over five innings.
Impact Quintana was staked to a three-run lead in the top of the first inning and never let Chicago catch up. The southpaw needed 98 pitches to get through five frames and thus wasn't able to go deep enough to notch a second straight quality start, but he was otherwise effective in holding the White Sox without an extra-base hit and yielding just one earned run. Quintana had a rough four-game stretch to begin August during which he posted an 0-3 record and an 8.27 ERA, but he bounced back in his final two starts of the month, allowing just one earned run across 11.1 frames.
