MINNEAPOLIS — Only in Jose Quintana’s world does Austin Jackson’s potential grand slam hook just outside the foul pole for a long, loud strike.
Of all the sick and twisted ways that Quintana has been denied run support the past few seasons, Monday’s has to qualify as one of the cruelest. Up a run and in search of more, Quintana saw a potential windfall squeak past the foul pole and go for a long strike.
Fortunately for Quintana, Jackson was up to the task and followed with a two-run single that offered enough support to boost the White Sox to a 4-1 victory over the Minnesota Twins in front of 40,638 at Target Field.
