MILWAUKEE — One of Colorado manager Bud Black’s most-quoted baseball adages is that momentum is only as good as the next day’s starting pitcher. If that’s the case, Black has some thinking to do while settling on a rotation for the best-of-five National League division series against the Brewers that starts here Thursday.
Black has tabbed right-hander Antonio Senzatela to start the series opener, with Tyler Anderson the probable starter for Friday in Game 2. Beyond that, staff aces German Marquez (last pitched Monday afternoon in the NL tiebreaker loss) and Kyle Freeland (pitched Tuesday night in the NL wild card win) would both be fully rested for Sunday’s Game 3 back at Coors Field.
