CHICAGO (AP) — Paul DeJong hit a home run to drive in three runs, and the Chicago White Sox beat the Colorado Rockies 11-3 on Saturday for their third straight victory.

Luis Robert Jr., Korey Lee and Lenyn Sosa also homered for Chicago in their first double-digit scoring game of the season. The White Sox finished with 12 hits in a matchup of baseball’s worst teams.

Chicago took the lead and held on for three runs in the sixth. Robert tied the score at 3 with a 450-foot solo drive up the middle against Cal Quantrill. Andrew Vaughn was hit by a pitch with one out, and DeJong followed with a drive to left for his 15th home run.

Quantrill (6-6) was charged with five runs and seven hits in 5 1/3 innings.
