The White Sox (49-48) held on to defeat the Rockies (44-54) despite some ninth-inning drama. The four double plays that the White Sox turned proved to be crucial in this low-scoring ballgame.
The first time either team got a runner in scoring position was in the top of the second. After two quick outs, the White Sox woke up against Germán Márquez , as Yasmani Grandal singled on an 0-2 pitch, and AJ Pollock sliced a double to right-center to put runners on second and third. If the base runner on first was someone other than Grandal, the White Sox likely would have taken an early lead.
