PHOENIX — The resilient Rockies are not fading away.
A three-game sweep to the Dodgers in Los Angeles landed a big punch to Rockies’ playoff hopes, but it didn’t knock them down, and certainly didn’t knock them out.
Behind another superb performance by one of their bright young starting pitchers — in this case, 23-year-old right-hander Antonio Senzatela — the Rockies beat the Diamondbacks 5-1 on Saturday night at Chase Field.
In one of the biggest games of this career, Senzatela pitched one of the best games of his career. Working quickly, confidently and with excellent command, he allowed one run on three hits over seven innings.
