Fresh on the heels of Antonio Senzatela’s eight shutout innings, Colorado right-hander Jon Gray silenced the Diamondbacks on Thursday afternoon. He allowed a single earned run in 6 2⁄3 innings, lowering his early-season ERA to a mere 1.54.
Gray’s final line: 6 2⁄3 IP (W), 2 H, 1 ER, 4 BB, 5 K
Arizona finished the game with just five hits to Colorado’s 10. The Rockies have allowed a mere three runs in their last 18 innings, and have now won their first series of 2021.
