CHICAGO -- Chicago White Sox left-hander Jose Quintana will try to reach double-digit victories for the first time in his career when he takes the mound against the Oakland Athletics on Sunday afternoon.Quintana, 27, has finished with nine victories in each of his past three seasons. He has nine victories once again this season but has failed to obtain career-high victory No. 10 in each of his past two starts.If the White Sox swing the bat like they did Saturday evening, Quintana could be in luck. Chicago (58-64) erupted to score six runs and had 10 hits against the As to even the series heading into Sundays rubber match.Nobody in here has given up, White Sox left-hander Chris Sale said. We have too much pride in ourselves and what we do. When you look around this clubhouse, we have some pretty good guys, guys that compete. At the end of the day, thats all you can ask for.Oakland (53-70) has dropped four of its past five series but has a chance to win two out of three games at U.S. Cellular Field. The As have lost 10 of their past 15 games and 16 of their past 24.The As could be without designated hitter Billy Butler, who did not play Saturday because of an illness. Butler was sent back to the team hotel because he felt nauseated and was vomiting.I doubt hell be ready to play (Sunday), Oakland manager Bob Melvin said.That will leave slugger Khris Davis and the rest of the As offense to try to solve Quintana.In his past eight starts, Quintana has posted a 4-1 record with a 2.21 ERA. He is 0-0 with a 3.51 ERA in four career starts against the As.Poor run support has dogged Quintana throughout the season. The White Sox have averaged 3.13 runs during his starts, which is the lowest mark for any starter in the American League. The only pitcher in the majors with worse run support is Atlanta Braves right-hander Julio Teheran (2.77 runs per start).Oakland will counter with right-hander Zach Neal (2-2, 5.19 ERA), who will make his fourth start of the season.Neal has fared well in the bullpen this season, but he has yet to find his groove in the starting rotation. In 10 relief appearances, he is 1-0 with a 3.15 ERA. In three starts, he is 1-2 with a 7.98 ERA (13 earned runs in 14 2/3 innings).The 27-year-old rookie has not yet faced the White Sox.When hes pitching well, he keeps the ball down, Melvin said. There is subtle movement both ways with his sinker and his slider. He throws just enough off-speed, whether its a little bit of a curveball or a changeup to speed you up and slow you down. But for the most part, its the late action on his sinker and his slider.Oaklands Danny Valencia carries a six-game hitting streak into Sundays series finale. Valencia has batted .480 (12-for-25) during his hitting streak with two doubles, a home run and three RBI. Alex Bregman Jersey . "Were just throwing s--- at the wall hoping something sticks," said Tortorella about the possible line combinations for Fridays game against Columbus. The Canucks have lost five straight games and six of their last seven, leaving them in a logjam in the Pacific Division, currently sitting fifth - good for ninth in the Western Conference.

Two weeks ago, Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr broke into the top 10 for Total QBR for a season?for the first time in his career. After Monday nights thrilling finish in Mexico City, hes now entrenched, ranking seventh overall in Expected Points Added (57.6) and QB plays (464), good enough for an adjusted Total QBR score of 67.0, ranking 10th overall in the league.That puts Carr, whos been whispered as a darkhorse MVP candidate, leaps and bounds ahead of where he was his first two seasons in the league:Per the Eliias Sports Bureau, last night was also his 12th career start without being sacked, most in the NFL since he entered the league.dddddddddddd.Carr is on pace to shatter the best Total QBR by a Raiders quarterback since ESPN began tracking the metric.
