White Sox pitcher Jose Quintana allowed five earned runs on nine hits and one walk in five innings while striking out four in his team's 7-5 loss to the Royals Wednesday.
Quintana wasn't a factor in the decision after surrendering one run in the first inning, a three-run home run in the third and one final run in the fifth. He gave up five earned runs or more in four of his 32 starts last season, including his final start of 2014, and finished the year with a 3.32 ERA and 178:52 K:BB ratio in 200 1/3 innings.
