MAPQ in psl file

In a sam file I have MAPQ (mapping quality) for each read. Is there an equivalent or similar to MAPQ in a psl file? if not, what can measure I can use to select the best quality of reads in a psl file. I am trying to do it without samtools (using only awk or grep).

sequence

Did the psl file come from a blat search?

Thanks for helping me.

Yes, it seems be that there is not equivalent but in other forums. people suggested to take a look in the first column. Moreover, some professors said that matches( first column of psl file) is the closest parameter to quality in this file.
