The quote
"When I see (Keuchel's performance), I tried to continue to get zeros all of the innings and wait for the hitters to come back in the game, with one or two runs. But today we had a hard game, and we'll try tomorrow to get the win." -- Quintana
The quote II
"He keeps the ball down. He's a guy you have to get three, four, five hits to score two runs with him because he's not going to give up extra-base hits and he's not going to give up home runs. That's just what he does." -- Sox center fielder Adam Eaton, who struck out twice, on Keuchel
