Thursday afternoon, Jose Quintana and the Chicago White Sox will take on Jon Lester and the Boston Red Sox. Both pitchers will be making their 19 ^th starts of the season.

Jose Quintana pitched to a no-decision in his last start and that froze his record at 5 - 7 with a 3.20 ERA. It was a solid effort though from Quintana as he pitched 7.2 scoreless innings and allowed just 4 hits and a walk while striking out 10. Quintana hasn't allowed a run in his last 2 outings and just 3 runs in his last 4. He should be able to equal or better his results from last season when he posted a record of 9 - 7 with a 3.51 ERA in 33 starts.

In 2013, Quintana won his only start against the Red Sox after hurling 6.1 scoreless innings and allowing only 3 hits and 2 walks while striking out 5. He has faced 7 of the current Red Sox and held them to a .167 average with just 4 hits in 24 at-bats.

Jon Lester didn't get the decision in his last outing and that held his record at 9 - 7 with a 2.73 ERA. In that start, Lester gave up 2 runs on 5 hits in 8 innings of work. He struck out 7 without issuing a single walk. There is still a chance for Lester to equal his win total from 2013 when he went 15 - 8 with a 3.75 ERA in 18 starts.

Last season, Lester lost his only outing against the White Sox after allowing 6 runs on 7 hits (including a homer) in 6 innings of work. This season, Lester has a win over Chicago after holding them to a run on 7 hits in 8 innings.
