When the Milwaukee Brewers beat the San Francisco Giants 11-3 on Tuesday night, a little history was created.

Left-hander Jose Quintana, signed late in the offseason, earned the win by going 6.0 strong innings, allowing just one earned run on six hits. He walked two and struck out three.

In getting the win, he's now 3-0 with a 0.96 ERA.

Per Adam McCalvy of MLB.com:

From Elias: Jose Quintana is the first pitcher to win his first three starts in a Brewers uniform since CC Sabathia won four in a row to begin his magical Milwaukee run in 2008.
