White Sox starter Jose Quintana was disappointing Monday night at Houston. Quintana needed 104 pitches to go just 4 2/3 innings and didn't qualify for a victory, despite the Sox winning 4-2.
Chicago took a 4-2 lead in the top of the sixth inning, but Quintana already was gone by that time and took a no-decision. He gave up just two earned runs on five hits but walked three and struck out five to raise his pitch count. His ERA is 3.86.
Quintana hasn't won a start since May 21 against Boston, but he's continued to at least give the White Sox decent chances to win. He should get deeper next time out Saturday at Kansas City.
