White Sox shortstop Colson Montgomery had a memorable big league debut after being called up from Triple-A Charlotte.

Adrian Houser tossed a season-high eight innings, Edgar Quero hit his first major league home run, and the Chicago White Sox beat the Colorado Rockies 3-2 in Denver on Friday night.

Edgar Quero picked up a four-pitch walk to load the bases, and with two outs, Taylor knocked two in with a single, putting the Sox up, 2-0. In the fifth the Rockies finally made some noise, courtesy of a terrible throw from third baseman Josh Rojas.

In the top of the fourth inning, consecutive singles by Andrew Benintendi and Miguel Vargas put two on with nobody out for Chicago. After moving to third and second base, respectively, on Brooks Baldwin’s sacrifice bunt, Benintendi and Vargas were joined on the basepaths by Edgar Quero, who walked to load them up for Colson Montgomery.
