CLEVELAND – Jose Quintana reached 200 innings pitched for a fourth straight season by allowing one run over six during an 8-1 White Sox victory over the Indians Saturday night at Progressive Field.
With a career-high 13 wins and one start remaining, Quintana (13-11) also clinched a winning season on the mound. But those numbers didn’t seem to matter to Quintana in comparison to the 73-81 White Sox record and the team being eliminated from any playoff consideration.
“I don’t like to talk about stats,” said Quintana, who has a 3.21 ERA over 31 starts and 174 strikeouts in 202 innings. “We don’t have a good year and the goal here is to make the playoffs.
“We can’t this year. We try to make a good rest and come back next year.”
Other White Sox players besides Quintana have individual milestones or targets in mind as this disappointing season comes to a close.
