Jose Quintana is the Chicago Cubs' starting pitcher for the NL Championship Series opener even after his wife was forced off the team's chartered jet a day earlier due to a medical issue. Quintana stayed in Albuquerque on Friday with his wife, Michel, who fell ill during the Cubs' cross-country flight after eliminating Washington on Thursday, Cubs manager Joe Maddon said before Game 1 on Saturday against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Quintana's agent told USA Today that Michel Quintana had an irregular heartbeat.
