DENVER — A rare interleague meeting between the Colorado Rockies and Chicago White Sox will begin Friday with the opener of a three-game series.
The teams last met in 2014, when the Rockies took two of three at Coors Field. The White Sox lead the all-time series 7-5, with the teams also playing in 2005 and 2011 at Colorado and in 2008 at Chicago.
The Rockies are 5-4 in interleague play this year, and the White Sox are 2-4.
Colorado right-hander German Marquez (5-4, 4.41 ERA) will start against left-hander Derek Holland (5-8, 4.52). Marquez, who has never faced the White Sox, was not involved in the decision Sunday at Arizona, where he allowed three runs on five hits and three walks in 5 2/3 innings.
