CLEVELAND -- When Jose Quintana pitches, the bats of the Chicago White Sox tend to go silent.The left-hander allowed two runs in six innings Tuesday night, but the Cleveland Indians beat the White Sox 3-1.It was the White Soxs seventh straight loss to the Indians, who lead the AL Central. Chicago has averaged 2.0 runs in Quintanas last 17 starts, scoring one or fewer runs 11 times.Thats the frustrating part, we didnt help him out again, White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. Jose goes out and does what he has to do to give us a chance, but we dont help him. Its tough watching it happen over and over.Quintana (9-9) -- a first-time All-Star -- ranks fourth in the AL with a 2.85 ERA. He struck out seven and scattered seven hits, holding Cleveland scoreless after the third inning.Francisco Lindor doubled home Jason Kipnis in the first, while Rajai Davis scored on a single by Mike Napoli in the third to put the Indians up 2-0.In the latter frame, Quintana caught Davis leaning off first base, but first baseman Jose Abreus throw to shortstop Tim Anderson was to the right side of the bag. Davis slid past and under him, then scored three batters later.They can run and thats what I tried to stop today, Quintana said. All my stuff worked good, especially the breaking ball. It was a tough game. Theyre a first-place team.Justin Morneau homered in the sixth off Indians starter Corey Kluber (13-8), pulling Chicago within 2-1. The White Sox failed to put a runner on base in the final three innings against relievers Andrew Miller and Cody Allen.Quintana lost for the first time in seven career outings in Cleveland, where he holds the lowest ERA in Progressive Field history at 1.20 over 52 1/3 innings.Quintana is good, hes really good, Indians manager Terry Francona said. He has enough on his fastball where he can get it by you and he cuts that ball in on the righties. His command is phenomenal.Morneau and Tyler Saladino had two hits each for Chicago, while rookie Anderson extended his hitting streak to nine games. Third baseman Todd Frazier struck out in all four of his plate appearances.Cleveland added an insurance run in the eighth when Matt Albers gave up an RBI single to Kipnis. The Indians have outscored the White Sox 37-13 during their current win streak in the series.SUSTAINED SLUMPAlbers made 30 straight scoreless appearances from Aug. 5, 2015 to April 25, 2016, but has struggled this summer. The right-hander is 0-1 with a 6.92 ERA over his last 11 outings. As a reliever, when things dont go well, its magnified a hundred times, Ventura said. Matts had a rough go, but I think hes bouncing back.TRAINERS ROOMWhite Sox: 2B Brett Lawrie (left hamstring strain) is 5 for 12 through three games of his rehab assignment at Double-A Birmingham. Ventura said he could be activated as soon as Thursday.Indians: OF Michael Brantley (right shoulder) is expected to be ready for baseball activities when spring training begins. He underwent surgery to repair right biceps tendinitis Monday.UP NEXTWhite Sox: RHP Anthony Ranaudo will be recalled from Triple-A Charlotte to start the second game of the series, replacing RHP Carson Fulmer, who was optioned to Charlotte.Indians: RHP Carlos Carrasco posted a no-decision in his lone outing against the White Sox this season, allowing two runs in 7 1/3 innings on June 19 at Progressive Field.

LOUIS -- Lance Lynn was one of the more enthusiastic participants as the St. DEL MAR, Calif. -- Trainer Carla Gaines took Texas Ryano out to the track at Del Mar early Friday morning for a pre-race jog, and when the 5-year-old horse was put back in his stall, he started bucking and playing, like 2-year-old, Gaines said.Gaines said Texas Ryano had been touting himself all week, and the positive signs he gave off early in the morning - that he was eager for more - were revealed for all to see Friday afternoon, when Texas Ryano finally got the best of his nemesis Ashleyluvssugar and got his first graded stakes win in the Grade 2, $200,345 Hollywood Turf Cup.Texas Ryano ($6.60) roared past Ashleyluvssugar, the 4-5 favorite, in upper stretch and drew clear for an emphatic 3-1/4-length victory in the 1-1/2-mile grass race for older horses. Ashleyluvssugar was second, 1-1/4 lengths in front of Flamboyant, who nosed out Power Foot and Quick Casablanca in a three-way photo for third. Royal Albert Hall faded to last in the six-horse field after setting the pace.Texas Ryano covered 1-1/2 miles on firm turf in 2:27.92.Its very, very satisfying, said Gaines, who trains Texas Ryano for long-time client Warren Williamson. Hes a homebred. We bought the mare many, mmany years ago in Ireland.ddddddddddddTexas Ryano, 5, is by Curlin and out of Blending Element, who has produced Tiz Elemental and Tiz a Blend for Williamson and Gaines. This was his fifth win in 18 starts, and the $120,000 winners share brought his career earnings to $438,355. He was winless in six races this year, but was third and second behind Ashleyluvssugar in, respectively, the Del Mar Handicap and the John Henry Turf Championship.Last time out, both ran in the Breeders Cup Turf, with Ashleyluvssugar fifth and Texas Ryano finishing in a dead-heat for sixth. Texas Ryano was off poorly that day, and Gaines credited starter Jay Slender with working with Texas Ryano since that race.Hes not a great gate horse, Gaines said. He got out well today.After that, it was up to jockey Joe Talamo, who, after starting from post 3, didnt have to worry about getting fanned wide, as had compromised Texas Ryano in his three prior starts from outside draws.He just has to wind up and get into that run, Gaines said. Joe gave him a perfect trip, a perfect ride. ' ' '
