White Sox left-hander Jose Quintana was sharp against the Angels on Thursday. Quintana held the Halos to two runs on eight hits over six innings. He walked two and struck out three, and did a good job of limiting the damage against him, as the White Sox won 8-2.

Quintana (7-10, 3.60 ERA) was helped out a bit by the offense in this one, as he was able to hang on for the win despite perhaps not having his best stuff. He allowed a run in the first to tie the game and another in the fifth after the White Sox had put up a five-spot in their half of the frame.

Quintana has now given up three runs or fewer in five of his last six starts, and owns a 29:8 K:BB ratio over that stretch.
