Adrian Houser tosses a gem in White Sox win over Rockies
Houser (4-2) allowed two runs - both unearned - and struck out six. He has not allowed an earned run in his last 15 innings.
Mike Tauchman had two hits against his former team, Miguel Vargas also contributed two hits and Grant Taylor got the final three outs for his third save for Chicago. The White Sox snapped a three-game skid.
Chicago's Colson Montgomery made his major league debut at shortstop, and had an eventful first game. In his first big-league at-bat he reached on a catcher's interference, the first player in the Expansion Era (since 1961) to do so in his first plate appearance, according to MLB.com and Elias Sports Bureau.
He then made an over-the-shoulder, sprawled out catch of Ryan Ritter's broken-bat blooper to left field to rob Colorado of a run.
Mickey Moniak had two hits for the Rockies, who have won only one opener of a home series this season. Antonio Senzatela (3-12) allowed three runs on seven hits in 5-2/3 innings.
Quero's solo homer in the sixth put Chicago ahead 3-2 and Houser and Taylor maintained the lead. Houser allowed just a walk over his final three innings, and he erased that runner with a double play.
Taylor gave up a two-out single to Moniak in the ninth but struck out Ryan McMahon to end the game.
The White Sox grabbed the lead in the fourth inning. Andrew Benintendi and Vargas led off with singles and moved up on a sacrifice bunt by Brooks Baldwin. Quero walked and following a lineout, Michael A. Taylor singled to right field to bring in two runs.
Colorado got even in the fifth. Michael Toglia doubled with one out and Ritter reached on a two-base error by third baseman Josh Rojas, which allowed Toglia to score.
Tyler Freeman tied it with a two-out double to left.

MLB legend Miguel Cabrera sells incredible lakefront mansion for $3.5m just days after revealing life-changing family news
Baseball icon Miguel Cabrera is coming to the end of a rollercoaster week, after the sale of his home and a divorce from his wife were both settled within days of each other. Cabrera, who earned $393million during an incredible career - mainly with the Detroit Tigers - only retired in 2023 at the age of 41 and still works for the team's front office. Away from the world of baseball it has been a difficult few years, with TMZ reporting that his now ex-wife has been angling for a divorce for the past eight years. Rosangel first filed papers to separate from her husband after 15 years of marriage back in 2017, but then changed her mind shortly after and withdrew the request. Now, though, she has gone ahead with the split, calling their marriage 'irretrievably broken', and on June 18 a judge finalized the divorce in court. The news of his marriage ending comes at the same time as the baseball legend has put his incredible lakefront mansion up for sale - 10 years after first buying it. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Skyview Experts | Southeast & West Michigan Real Estate Media (@skyviewexperts) The 6 bedroom, 10 bathroom property in Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan, was listed for $3,485,000 on June 19 - a day after the divorce was finalized - and sold for the asking price just 13 days later, according to Realtor. The home includes a pool, tennis courts and direct access to Lake St Clair - and was seemingly a steal for the price, given the speed with which it was sold. Cabrera is a 12-time MLB All-Star, and won the World Series in his first season as a pro with the then-Florida Marlins. He played for the Marlins for five seasons before moving on to Detroit, where he remained until his retirement 15 years later. Incredibly, he is one of just three players in MLB history to have a career batting average above .300, 500 home runs and 3,000 hits. The other two players are Hank Aaron and Willie Mays.

Caitlin Clark trolls glamorous teammate Sophie Cunningham over her appearance as injury absence rolls on
Caitlin Clark trolled her glamorous Indiana Fever teammate Sophie Cunningham on Friday night, hours after being ruled out of another game. The Fever announced their star player would once again be missing for Saturday's home game against the Los Angeles Sparks due to a lingering left groin injury. But Clark was clearly not too distraught as she took to social media to jokingly mock Cunningham, who has emerged as the Fever's on-court enforcer in the early stages of this WNBA season. The Fever posted some pictures from the workout earlier in the day, one of which showed Cunningham's hair bouncing up and down as she ran around the court. The picture captured her hair in a bizarre position, leading Clark to reply 'love this hairstyle' while tagging her teammate. On Saturday, Clark will sit out for a fifth straight game and miss her 10th game of the season, including Tuesday's Commissioner's Cup final when Indiana toppled the league-leading Minnesota Lynx 74-59. The Cup final does not count toward the regular-season standings, but nonetheless, the Fever have won three straight games during Clark's absence. Indiana coach Stephanie White said at the time of Clark's injury that it was 'very much a day-to-day thing.' After Saturday, the Fever are off again until a home date with the Golden State Valkyries on Wednesday. Clark, 23, sat out five games due to a left quad injury before returning to action against the New York Liberty on June 14. The second-year guard is averaging 18.2 points, 8.9 assists and 5.0 rebounds in nine games this season for Indiana Clark won Rookie of the Year honors and made the All-Star and All-WNBA teams in 2024-25 following a record-setting career at Iowa.
