While the game was out of reach, there was still time for a White Sox rookie to have a special moment.

Catcher Edgar Quero, the team's No. 6 prospect, stepped to the plate for his second at-bat of the game in the ninth inning after pinch-hitting for Matt Thaiss in the seventh. He wasted no time against Red Sox pitcher Josh Winckowski.

Quero swung at the first pitch, a 95.5 mile-per-hour fastball on the high and outside part of the zone. The 5-foot-10, 22-year old swatted it to the opposite field, landing down the left field line and rolling to the corner for a stand-up double.

That marked the first hit of Quero's MLB career.

First big league hit for Edgar Quero!

He's ranked No. 62 among prospects, per the MLB Pipeline.
