Home delivery has not been on the Rockies’ menu very often this season. But it was Sunday in their 6-4 victory over the White Sox at Coors Field.
Colorado’s four-run fifth inning, supercharged by Mickey Moniak’s two-run triple and Michael Toglia’s two-run homer, wiped out Chicago’s 4-2 lead.
Moniak — who was 3 for 4 with three RBIs — ended up a double shy of hitting for the cycle. Moniak, who started in center field, led off the first with a home run to right off Shane Smith, Moniak’s 13th homer of the season. He also singled in the seventh.
Colorado (21-69), the worst team in the National League, avoided being swept by the Sox (30-60), the worst team in the AL. The Rockies improved to 10-36 at Coors Field, where nine of their 10 victories have come in the last game of a three-game series.
Rockies starter Chase Dollander, still trying to find his big-league footing, had a rough afternoon, some of it bad luck, some of it his own making. The rookie right-hander issued four walks, including leadoff walks in Chicago’s two-run third and also in its one-run fourth.
