The Chicago White Sox are playing for pride at the moment, but Jose Quintana‘s pride was hurt on Sunday after a tough loss to the Royals. The Sox All-Star starter gave up six earned runs in just four innings pitched.
The start for Quintana continued a long stretch of futility against the Royals for the native Colombian. With the Sox vying to end the season at .500, the loss on Sunday pushed them further from their goal. The Sox will enter Monday’s finale against the Royals at 72-77.
For Quintana, the loss was his 11th and moved his record to 12-11 for the season.
