Quintana finally rewarded for his efforts

Once again, the White Sox didn't give Jose Quintana very much run support. Then again, the left-handed starter didn't need much help.

In the Sox' 4-1 win over the Astros at U.S. Cellular Field Wednesday night, Quintana pitched 7 innings and allowed 1 run on 6 hits.

Behind the solid starting pitching of Chris Sale, Carlos Rodon and Quintana, the White Sox (28-30) swept the three-game series against Houston.

The Sox' left-handed trio pitched a combined 21 innings against the Astros and allowed only 2 runs while striking out 22.

Houston took a 1-0 lead in the second inning on Jake Marisnick's sacrifice fly.

Adam LaRoche tied it in the sixth with a solo home run, and Geovany Soto led off the seventh inning with another homer.

In the eighth, Jose Abreu hit a 2-run homer to seal the outcome.
