A wide smile spread across Jose Quintana's face, and he began his postgame comments with one word.
"Wow," he said.
Anyone familiar with Quintana's run-support plight should understand why the White Sox left-hander was so happy after a 4-1 victory over the Astros on Sunday afternoon at Minute Maid Park. Quintana gave up one run over seven innings, and the Sox tacked on runs late to ensure he earned his first victory since May 8 against the Twins.
After starting the year 5-1, he improved to 6-8 as the Sox won their fourth straight series.
