NEW YORK -- Jose Quintana had a momentary lapse on Saturday afternoon and it unfortunately cost him.
The White Sox starting pitcher issued a two-out walk in the second inning and the New York Yankees made him pay. They pieced together a brief rally and Ivan Nova and three Yankees dominant relievers sent the White Sox to a 2-1 loss in front of 39,691 at Yankee Stadium.
Quintana fell to 5-2 even though he limited New York to two earned runs and five hits with two walks and five strikeouts in seven innings.
“He had one inning that ends up tripping him up, but he’s sharp as usual,” White Sox manager Robin Ventura said.
