BALTIMORE -- Baltimore's Chris Tillman threw five innings of three-hit ball in his season debut and the Orioles completed a three-game sweep of the Chicago White Sox with a 4-0 victory Sunday.

The Orioles (20-10) extended their winning streak to four games heading into the regional rivalry with the Washington Nationals on Monday.

The White Sox (15-15) closed out a 10-game road trip where they went 4-6.

Tillman (1-0) opened the season on the disabled list with right shoulder bursitis. He walked the first two batters he faced on nine pitches before settling down and finishing with four strikeouts and three walks on 93 pitches.

Trey Mancini and Joey Rickard had three hits apiece for Baltimore.

Alec Asher threw 3 1/3 innings of relief that set up Brad Brach's seventh save of the season for the Orioles.

Chicago manager Rick Renteria was ejected in the third inning after yelling at home plate umpire Paul Emmel from the dugout.

White Sox left-hander Jose Quintana (2-5) entered the game having won his previous two starts with a 0.64 ERA. However, he struggled with his command and the Orioles took advantage with some timely singles. Quintana allowed four runs on nine hits with four strikeouts and three walks over five innings.

The Orioles took a 2-0 lead in the first on a sacrifice fly by Chris Davis and a single by Mancini. Baltimore caught a break call when Mark Trumbo was ruled safe at first after a manager's challenge that helped extend the inning.

Baltimore boosted the margin to 4-0 off Quintana on a pair of RBI singles by Adam Jones and Manny Machado in the second. Chicago left 11 runners on base.

NOTES: Orioles 2B Jonathan Schoop was out for the second straight game after being hit on the right wrist with a pitch on Friday night.

Baltimore RHP Stefan Crichton was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk to make room for RHP Chris Tillman on the 25-man roster. ...
