It could have been a different story had it not been for Senzatela getting out of a first-inning jam. San Francisco’s Alen Hanson opened the game with a single and moved to third on Brandon Crawford’s two-out single. With the Giants threatening to grab the early lead, Senzatela went 2-0 on Pablo Sandoval … and then he did something that the Rockies have pushed for all of their young pitchers to do. He went with a changeup.
Sandoval popped his changeup up to Trevor Story, who cradled the catch for the final out.
