White Sox starter Jose Quintana went pitch-for-pitch with Detroit's Justin Verlander Tuesday night at Comerica Park. In the end, it was the 24-year-old Quintana who came out on top.

Quintana (4-2) and Verlander were tied 1-1 after seven innings but both struggled in the eighth. Verlander allowed seven runs and Quintana gave up a two-run homer to Miguel Cabrera.

Quintana, who has a 3.67 ERA, allowed three earned runs on six hits and a walk with seven strikeouts over eight innings. He won for the first time since May 21 against Boston but has allowed just three runs on eight hits in his last two outings spanning 15 innings with 18 strikeouts. Quintana makes his next scheduled start Sunday at Philadelphia.
