Liam Hendriks gave up a home run in the ninth but settled down
to earn his 19th save for the White Sox, who have won three
straight.
Ryan McMahon homered and Garrett Hampson had two hits for the
Rockies, who have lost five of their last six.
The White Sox broke through in the fourth. Eloy Jimenez and
Grandal singled with one out to put runners on the corners. AJ
Pollock hit a potential double-play ball, but Hampson's fielding
error allowed Jimenez to score.
Leury Garcia hit a sharp single to left to load the bases, but
German Marquez struck out Adam Engel and got Tim Anderson to
ground into a forceout to end the inning.
Colorado had opportunities to score against Kopech but couldn't
capitalize.
In the fourth, the Rockies had a man on second with two outs,
and in the fifth, a double by Charlie Blackmon and a single by
Hampson put runners on the corners with two outs, but Kris
Bryant grounded into an inning-ending double play.
Kopech (4-6) left after giving up a one-out single to Brendan
Rodgers in the sixth. He allowed no runs and six hits, walked
three and struck out four in 5 1/3 innings.
Marquez (6-8) took the loss despite allowing just one run on
seven hits and a walk in six innings. He struck out six.
The White Sox added another run in the seventh off reliever Jake
Bird. Adam Engel led off with a single, stole second and scored
on Yoan Moncada's one-out double.
The Rockies threatened again in the seventh with runners on
first and second and one out, but Joe Kelly induced another
inning-ending double play to keep Colorado scoreless.
McMahon led off the ninth with his eighth home run of the season
to cut the deficit in half. Elias Diaz walked with two outs, but
Blackmon grounded out to end the game.
