CHICAGO – Jose Quintana beamed while describing the attention the first all-Colombian pitching matchup in major league history was getting back home.

“I think Colombia won today,” he said.

Quintana bested countryman Julio Teheran, Todd Frazier hit his 25th homer and the Chicago White Sox beat the Atlanta Braves 5-4 on Saturday.

A Colombian flag hung outside a suite down the left field line to celebrate the milestone. The pitchers were born about 25 miles apart in the northern department of Bolivar.

“Teheran is my friend and we have a good relationship,” Quintana said. “Facing him at this level, that’s good for the country. I enjoyed this game and I took the win. That’s great for me.”
