NEW YORK — The Mets got a solid debut on the mound but a no-show performance at the dish.
Jose Quintana donned the Mets’ uniform for the first time on Thursday afternoon but received virtually no help from his offense in their 6-2 loss to the Chicago White Sox. Quintana returned from a rib lesion and gave Buck Showalter’s squad a decent performance.
The southpaw tossed five innings allowing two runs on six hits while striking out three. The 34-year-old allowed the two runs in the first two innings of the game with Eloy Jiminez’s RBI single and Elvis Andrus’ sac-fly in the second.
