Miranda, Nuno struggle in loss to White Sox
- Updated: August 28, 2016
CHICAGO — Jose Quintana continued his outstanding season with 7 2/3 strong innings on Saturday, and this time he got some help from his friends as the White Sox rolled to a 9-3 victory over the Mariners at U.S. Cellular Field.
The 27-year-old southpaw allowed just five hits and two runs (one earned) as he improved to 11-9 with a 2.77 ERA. Quintana had the second-lowest run support of any American League starter coming into the game, but the White Sox clubbed four home runs in a 15-hit night.
The White Sox jumped on Mariners reliever Vidal Nuno for four runs on five straight hits in the fifth to break the game open, with Avisail Garcia and Alex Avila delivering back-to-back home runs to take a 7-1 lead. Nuno wound up allowing 10 hits — including three of the homers — and six runs in three frames.
Mariners lefty Ariel Miranda lasted just four innings as he gave up five hits and three runs and departed with a 3-1 deficit. The 27-year-old Cuban walked three and needed 90 pitches in his abbreviated outing and is now 0-1 with a 4.79 ERA in four starts since being acquired from the Orioles for Wade Miley.
The White Sox have won five of their last seven in raising their record to 62-66. The Mariners, fighting to stay in playoff contention, have dropped five of seven and remain two games back of an American League Wild Card spot at 68-61.
