 It was the sixth win in a row for the White Sox (16-6) and the
third straight loss for the Blue Jays (10-13).
Quintana (3-1) pitched six scoreless innings in recording his season
high in strikeouts in his second straight win. The left-hander
allowed five hits and three walks.
Blue Jays right-hander Marco Estrada (1-2) allowed three hits, four
walks and three runs while striking out five in 6 2/3 innings.
Estrada took a one-hitter into the seventh inning with the score
tied 0-0 and allowed a leadoff single to Todd Frazier, the second
hit of the game by the White Sox third baseman.
Melky Cabrera forced Frazier at second on a grounder to shortstop
but avoided the double play. Brett Lawrie walked.
Avisail Garcia struck out, but Navarro, Estrada's Toronto battery
mate last season, tripled to center on a 2-2 count to give the White
Sox at 2-0 lead.
 Right-hander Jesse Chavez replaced Estrada and gave up an RBI triple
to Austin Jackson
During a walk to Adam Eaton, Blue Jays manager John Gibbons was
ejected by home plate umpire John Tumpane. It was the first time
Gibbons has been tossed from a game this season.
Eaton stole second but Jimmy Rollins flied out to end the inning.
Left-hander Zach Duke replaced Quintana and pitched a perfect
seventh.
The White Sox padded their lead in the eighth against right-hander
Ryan Tepera on a leadoff single by Jose Abreu, a one-out walk to

Right-hander Nate Jones took over on the mound for the White Sox in
the eighth and set the Blue Jays down in order.

Before the seventh, the chances were scarce for either team.
Toronto right fielder Jose Bautista struck out twice with runners at
first and second, in the third and fifth innings.
Frazier singled and Cabrera walked for Chicago in the second, but
Lawrie bounced into a double play to deflate a possible threat.
Estrada issued one-out walks in the sixth to Jackson and Eaton
before striking out Rollins and ending the inning on a fly to center
by Abreu.
Edwin Encarnacion led off the sixth with a long line drive to right
that Eaton hauled in at the wall.
