All-Star pitcher Shane Smith served up a 421-foot leadoff home run to Rockies center fielder Mickey Moniak, who later tagged him for a two-run triple as the Sox squandered an opportunity for their first sweep of the season against lowly Colorado.

Mickey Moniak finished a double shy of a cycle, Michael Toglia hit a go-ahead, two-run homer in the fifth inning and the Colorado Rockies beat the Chicago White Sox 6-4 on Sunday to avoid a sweep in a series between the two worst teams in the majors.

And so it goes for the Rockies, who lost, 10-3, to the White Sox on Saturday night at Coors Field in front of a fireworks crowd of 47,351.

Trailing 6-2 heading into the sixth inning, the Rockies started to come alive against Jonathan Cannon.

He exited with two runners after Ryan McMahon walked and Michael Toglia singled.

The Colorado Rockies are on pace for 126 losses, which would break the modern-day MLB record of 121 set just last season by the Chicago White Sox.
