White Sox starting pitcher Jose Quintana flirted with a no-hitter during Tuesday's start against the Red Sox.

Quintana carried a no-hitter into the seventh inning before he surrendered a one-out broken-bat single to David Ortiz. He allowed just three hits as he fired 6 2/3 scoreless innings. The left-hander struck out five and walked two as he picked up his third win of the season.

"In the fifth inning, I realized, man, they haven't got a hit yet," Quintana said. "All I wanted to do was just get outs and keep the team ahead."

Quintana (3-1) picked up his first win since April 24. He is 1-1 with a 4.03 ERA in his last five starts. He is scheduled to make his next start Monday at home against the Cubs. He is 2-1 with a 3.79 ERA in four starts at home.
