White Sox starter Jose Quintana eased some of the tension swirling around the Chicago clubhouse with his second victory Wednesday against the Indians. Chicago had lost four straight and 10 of 13 entering Wednesday as Quintana got them back on track.
Quintana (2-0) allowed two earned runs on four hits and two walks over five solid innings and 92 pitches for the 3-2 win. He struck out three and his ERA is now at 2.78.
The 24-year-old has won back-to-back outings and has given up just two runs over his last three starts spanning 18 2/3 innings. He's surrendered just 10 hits over that stretch with four walks and 17 Ks.
After starting the year off poorly against Seattle, Quintana has been masterful in his last three starts. With a solid 1.06 WHIP, Quintana will look to earn his third straight win when he next takes the ball Tuesday at Texas.
