Pitcher's bat helps Rockies take back 1st place

SAN FRANCISCO -- Right-handed pitcher Antonio Senzatela must have figured if he was going to make the Rockies wait nearly five months for a hit, he might as well make it count.

Senzatela's two-run, bases-loaded single in the second inning ended the Rockies' season-worst scoreless streak at 20 innings and was the key swing in a 3-2 victory over the Giants at AT&T Park on Sunday afternoon that allowed the Rockies to regain first place in the tight National League West race. The Dodgers lost to the Cardinals at night to fall a half-game back.
