The sequence marked the White Sox first triple play since September 18, 2006. The White Sox won 4-3 in eleven innings. “We’ll take 2-1 wins any days of the week”. But even before Robertson did with the aid of a Navarro throwing error, the Sox had blown their own collection of chances to put the game away. He went about his business as usual and stuck to his game. Chicago’s Jose Quintana (1-1, 2.55) is to start Friday night against fellow lefty Martin Perez (0-1, 3.44).

“(Quintana) was pitching great the whole game”, Beltre said. A single by Sands, and the Sox now had a 5 – 0 lead. Coming into the game on Saturday afternoon, Lewis had gone 26 innings over three starts at The Cell since returning to Texas in 2010.

Plagued by knee troubles and banished to the bullpen by the end of last season, Latos (3-0, 0.49 ERA) has been an early revelation during his short time with Chicago.
“That’s in theory; all three of them read it the same way”, Banister observed, mulling the outcome before turning the page, the way every manager and every player has had to after a bad day or night at the office.

“He hit the hell out of it and I thought it was getting down and I broke”, Fielder said.
“No. We’ve been a good base-running ballclub, we’ve been one of the better base-running clubs in all of baseball”, he said. Moreover, it was the 30th triple play in White Sox history, and thanks to Saladino’s extra throw, it stands out for being extra convoluted.

Up 5-0 against the Rangers in the seventh inning, Jose Quintana loaded the bases with nobody out. Dyson walked the next batter, hit Avisail Garcia with one out and allowed a go-ahead single to Dioner Navarro.
