Charlie Blackmon homered, Kris Bryant, Brendan Rodgers and Jose
Iglesias had two hits apiece and Robert Stephenson (2-1) got the
win with an inning of relief for Colorado, which earned a split
of the two-game series.
Tim Anderson, AJ Pollock and Seby Zavala each had two hits for
the White Sox.
Chicago led 5-4 entering the bottom of the ninth but reliever
Kendall Graveman (3-2) struggled with his command. He walked the
first three batters to load the bases and Diaz singled through
the hole at second to bring home Rodgers and Iglesias.
The Rockies jumped on starter Lucas Giolito. Blackmon led off
the bottom of the first with his 16th home run. One out later,
Bryant doubled and scored on C.J. Cron's single. Iglesias
doubled with two outs to make it 3-0.
Giolito allowed three runs on six hits, struck out four and
walked four in five innings of work.
Chicago finally got to Rockies starter Antonio Senzatela in the
fourth inning. With one out Yoan Moncada singled, Pollock
doubled and both came home on Yasmani Grandal's two-out single
to cut Colorado's lead to 3-2.
Senzatela retired the first two batters in the seventh but Leury
Garcia singled off the pitcher's left leg to start a rally. That
took Senzatela out of the game after he allowed three runs on
eight hits, struck out five and walked one in 6 2/3 innings. It
was his longest outing of the season.
The White Sox kept the inning going against reliever Lucas
Gilbreath. Zavala and Anderson greeted him with singles, the
second driving in Garcia with the tying run. Gilbreath was
pulled after he walked Moncada to load the bases.
Carlos Estevez relieved Gilbreath and Pollock lined a two-run
single on the first pitch Estevez threw to put Chicago ahead.
The Rockies got a run back in the bottom of the seventh. Rodgers
doubled with one out and scored on a single by Iglesias.
