KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- 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. ...

He took care of that with a 3-iron into 30 inches on the final hole for an eagle and a three-shot lead at the Deutsche Bank Championship.Then he looked at the forecast, and realized his work was just starting.Casey made birdie and eagle over his last three holes for a 5-under 66, giving him a three-shot lead over Brian Harman going into the Labor Day finish as he tries to win on the PGA Tour for the first time in seven years.Only five players were within five shots of Casey, who was at 15-under 198.Rory McIlroy (66) and Louis Oosthuizen (64), who staged a duel at the TPC Boston four years ago, were six shots behind. It was difficult to count out anyone with a forecast for 35 mph wind and burst of showers from the remnants of Hermine due in New England.Starting times have been moved forward to give the tournament the best chance of finishing.I dont think anyones completely prepared for tomorrow, Harman said after his 66. Its more about survival and just doing the best you can.Harman will be in the final group with Casey and Smylie Kaufman (68), who was in the group at 11-under 202 along with PGA champion Jimmy Walker (70) and Kevin Chappell, who had the lead going into the back nine until hitting a tee shot into a divot that led to double bogey on No. 12. Chappell shot 71.To be sitting here at 66, Im obviously over the moon, Casey said. Even with the great ball-striking, I found it difficult at the beginning, but to turn it around and have a lot of looks for birdies and make a few to come in, its been great.Chappell, still looking for his first PGA Tour victory, made a birdie at the 10th to get to 13 under until he went at the flag from the divot in the 12th fairway. He came up short in the hazard, tried to play out of the native scrub and went over the green and wound up with a double bogey.I said yesterday that at some point in time during the next 36 holes, I was going to be hit with adversity, Chappell said. Felt like I hung in there and finished with six straight pars from not-the-best position.dddddddddddd So thats what Im going to choose to look at, and hopefully tomorrow I can get the ball in position and try to make some birdies.Casey made his at the right time, and his eagle at the 18th sent him home with a smile.He had 232 yards to the hole with the wind coming out in and out of the left. The wind picked up and his caddie, John McLaren, stepped in and called him off. The wind died slightly, and the fun wasnt over.It looked left, Casey said about his shot. And then the wind gusted and it went right. And after that, I was happy it got over.Casey was amazed by the low scoring, including his own, given the wind. The tour prepared for it by moving up several tees.A lot of guys were tearing it up, he said. Shows how good guys are out there.Casey has been through that before. Asked why he only has one PGA Tour victory -- he has 14 on the European Tour, mostly recently the KLM Open two years ago -- Casey pointed to his early years in the Tiger Woods era.They seemed to play the same schedule, and Casey said that made it even tougher. And then there were the injuries, which slowed his career. Casey said he has had no excuses the last couple of years, and he was determined to change that.All he has left is one more round, and what figures to be a day of nasty weather.Dustin Johnson wasnt among those in the mix. He was a birdie away from tying for the 36-hole lead on Saturday. Starting the third round just three shots behind, Johnson stumbled to a 75 and was 11 shots back. Jordan Spieth didnt fare much better. He was five shots behind and had to rally with two late birdies for a 72. He 10 behind.The top 70 in the FedEx Cup advance to the BMW Championship, which starts Thursday at Crooked Stick in Indiana. Casey was at No. 59 going into the Deutsche Bank, while Harman was at No. 67. Getting to the next FedEx Cup playoff event no longer is a concern. ' ' '
