Senzatela entered Monday night’s game with a 7.58 ERA and .377 avg. against in the first inning. That troubling trend continued as he surrendered two runs on three hits and a walk, requiring a double play on his 28th pitch of the frame to limit the damage.
The Rockies similarly made Jordan Zimmerman expel a ton of energy in the first, making him throw 32 pitches and recording a pair of base hits on singles from DJ LeMahieu and Nolan Arenado. But, as has so often been the case lately, the Rockies were unable to score either runner.
