The Rockies’ Fourth of July was a Yankee Doodle dud.
White Sox right-hander Adrian Houser made sure of that, pitching eight strong innings in the Sox’s 3-2 victory Friday night at Coors Field.
The White Sox, who lost a modern-era record 121 games last season, entered the night with a 9-35 road record, worst in the majors. But they bested a Rockies team that now owns a 9-35 home record, also worst in the majors.
The Rockies (20-68), on pace to lose 125 games, are threatening to supplant the White Sox for the most losses in modern baseball history.
