KANSAS CITY, Mo. James Harden Rockets Jersey . -- Jose Quintana entered September in the AL Cy Young Award conversation with an 11-9 record and a 2.77 ERA.A trio of lackluster starts has taken him out of it.Quintana allowed six runs over four innings and the Chicago White Sox lost to the Kansas City Royals 10-3 on Sunday.Quintana (12-11) faced 24 batters, gave up a season-high 10 hits and three walks. It was his shortest outing since April 19, 2015 at Detroit.Its just a bad day. Quintana said. They hit me good, early, and thats all. That changed the game for me.Aside from a dominant outing last time out against Cleveland, Quintana has been lousy this month. Hes 1-2 with a 6.85 ERA in four September starts after going 4-1 with a 1.81 ERA in his previous eight outings. Quintanas career record against the Royals dropped to 1-9.It wasnt the normal stuff, the stuff you expect from him, White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. They hit him pretty hard, too. He just wasnt locating the way he usually does. It was just an off day for him.Todd Frazier hit his 37th homer, a White Sox record for a third baseman.It would be real nice, Frazier said about getting to 40. Always got to round the numbers up. We talk about that all the time, trying to get a couple here, a couple there. And there are a lot of opportunities. The more the guys get on base, theres more opportunity for me.Kendrys Morales homered for his 1,000th career hit and drove in four runs, and Royals starter Danny Duffy pitched effectively into the eighth inning.Morales was hitting .191 on June 5, but in his past 20 games he is hitting .359 with a .705 slugging percentage, bringing his season total to .261 with 38 home runs and 85 RBI.Duffy (12-2) picked up his first victory since Aug. 21. He struck out eight and gave up three runs.Morales homered in the sixth with Paulo Orlando aboard. Orlando reached base four times -- two doubles, a walk and hit by pitch -- and scored three runs.Morales contributed an RBI single in the first and doubled home Eric Hosmer in the fourth.Hosmer drove in three runs, giving him a career-best 95 RBI. Whit Merrifield had three hits and two RBI.Alex Gordon ended an 0-for-21 drought with his 16th home run, which splashed into the upper right-field fountain.DOUBLE CHALLENGEThe third inning included a 4-minute, 25-second review that included both managers making a challenge on the same play. Ned Yost of the Royals claimed shortstop Tim Anderson did not touch second base before throwing to first on Hosmers grounder. White Sox manager Robin Ventura challenged that Orlando violated the slide rule. After the review, the call on the field was overturned with Orlando ruled safe and the slide deemed legal.We felt like when you slide and you cant reach the bag thats enough for me to feel like its not a real slide or a bona fide slide, Ventura said. Again, that stuff is written in a way that it could go either way.TRAINERS ROOMWhite Sox: INF Tyler Saladino was out for the second straight game with a left calf issue. ... DH Justin Morneau missed his sixth straight game with neck discomfort.UP NEXTWhite Sox: LHP Carlos Rodon, who is 5-1 with a 2.77 ERA in his past eight starts, will start the series finale.Royals: RHP Yordano Ventura has allowed at least 11 baserunners in each of his past three starts with 12 walks and 23 hits.

LOUIS -- St.Club legend Phil Thompson believes it is clear that Christian Bentekes Liverpool career is over, suggesting the striker will be keen to leave in the summer. With just one goal in 16 appearances in all competitions since the turn of the year, Benteke his slipped behind Daniel Sturridge and Divock Origi in the pecking order, failing to make any of Jurgen Klopps last 12 starting line-ups.The Belgium striker is currently sidelined with a knee injury picked up on international duty and Soccer Saturday pundit Thommo struggles to see him turning things around between now and the end of the season. Thommo predicts... Find out what Thommo is tipping up at 40/1 for Liverpool v Dortmund here. He told Sky Sports: You dont need to be an expert or an insider to see that Benteke will be looking to move on in the summer. Were all trying to read between the lines and I dont know anything definite but it looks like hes all but gone.I would say for the sake of his own career he needs to leave. Hes got the Euros coming up and hes going to be sat on the bench with Romelu Lukaku starting and he wont want the same to happen next season. Benteke has scored just once in 2016 He cant do the pressing game that Jurgen Klopp demands and you cant have £32. James Harden Jersey. .5m strikers sat on the bench playing a bit part.Danny Ings is coming back as well and hes more suited to doing what Klopp expects, so Benteke could find himself fourth in the pecking order.Thommo sees the Chinese Super League as Bentekes most likely destination, while he thinks it is unlikely that Liverpool would sell to rivals Everton, who could lose Lukaku in the summer. Bentekes next club odds Where will Benteke be playing next season? Find Sky Bets odds here. He added: Football is stranger than ever but I still think it would be highly unlikely that theyd sell to Everton. I remember back when I was youth team coach we sold Peter Beardsley to Everton and I thought it would come back to bite us, which it did.The way the Chinese market is going youd think that is the most likely source for Liverpool to recoup the fee they spent on him. Id imagine it will be a similar case for Mario Balotelli. Also See: Klopp enjoys hard decisions Ojo on the rise Croatia boss to snub Lovren Zielinski claims Reds interest ' ' '
