Thirty-one pitches and a bases-loaded jam in the first inning. Not exactly a stellar start for Rockies right-hander Antonio Senzatela Tuesday night at the Oakland Coliseum.
The old “Senza” might have melted down. But the new “Senza” escaped the jam by getting the dangerous Khris Davis to pop out and went on notch a win as Colorado cruised to an 8-3 victory over the A’s.
Colorado improved to 3-1, a nice beginning to a 60-game season in which every win is magnified.
Over the first four games, the ERA for the Rockies’ starters is 2.53. The bullpen has also been nails.
