Cantillo, recalled from Triple-A Columbus earlier in the day, is looking for his first major league win. He stepped into the rotation after Alex Cobb was scratched Saturday because of a blister on his right middle finger.
The White Sox, one of the majors' worst offensive teams, had their best chance for a hit when Jacob Amaya lined right to third baseman José Ramírez for the final out of the sixth.
