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.

Moniak — who was 3 for 4 with three RBIs — ended up a double shy of hitting for the cycle. Moniak, who started in center field, led off the first with a home run to right off Shane Smith, Moniak’s 13th homer of the season. He also singled in the seventh. Moniak’s homer was his eighth in his last 20 games.
