White Sox pitcher Jose Quintana was stuck with a loss Wednesday after giving up three earned runs on eight hits and one walk in 7 1/3 innings while striking out four in his team's 3-1 loss to the Royals.
Quintana (2-4) entered the eighth inning Wednesday locked in a 1-1 tie, but he had runners on second and third with one out before issuing an intentional walk and being removed. Two of the runners he left on base came around to score after he exited, leading to his loss. Quintana owns a 3.67 ERA and 49:16 K:BB ratio in 61 1/3 innings. He'll take on the Indians Monday.
