Is Jose Quintana’s inexplicably bad luck finally starting to turn around?
It’s impossible to discern why the White Sox consistently weren’t able to support Quintana — and seemingly only Quintana, which feels somewhere between confirmation bias and the truth — from 2012-2015, in which the 27-year-old left-hander totaled the most no-decisions of any pitcher in baseball.
But on a chilly Friday night, Quintana fired seven scoreless innings and was supported by both his offense and defense in the White Sox 5-0 win over the Texas Rangers in front of 15,486 at U.S. Cellular Field.
Some opportunistic hitting and baserunning staked Quintana that lead.
