SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — In 2018, when they were all babyfaced big-league pitchers, Jon Gray called them the “twin brothers” of the Rockies clubhouse.
German Marquez and Antonio Senzatela, side-by-side, shoulder-to-shoulder, roommates, best buddies, always backing each other up.
The Venezuelan right-handers never leaned on each other more than they have over the past two years, when injuries derailed their careers and contributed to the Rockies’ slide to the bottom of the National League. Now the duo is back, looking good, throwing heat and aiming to revitalize Colorado’s rotation.
“I couldn’t be happier about where those two guys are now after the two years they have been through,” pitching coach Darryl Scott said.
