Colorado (21-69) avoided a three-game sweep Sunday against the White Sox (30-60). The Rockies defeated Chicago , 6-4, at Coors Field in Denver, Colorado.
Former Tennessee baseball pitcher Seth Halvorsen earned his eighth save of the season for the Rockies. He pitched one inning and allowed one walk. Halvorsen totaled 12 pitches, including six strikes, against four batters in the ninth inning.
He totaled one called strike, one swinging strike, one foul ball strike and three in-play strikes against Chicago. The former Vol also had one strike on a first pitch to a batter.
In 36 games for Colorado in 2025, Halvorsen (1-2) has recorded 32 strikeouts in 35.2 innings pitched.
He was selected by Colorado in the seventh-round (No. 202 overall) of the 2023 MLB draft. Halvorsen was at Tennessee from 2022-23, but did not play in 2022 due to injury.
Six games remain for the Rockies in the first half of the 2025 MLB regular season. Colorado will play a three-game series at Boston and Cincinnati before the MLB All-Star Game.
