DENVER — Nolan Arenado bailed out the Rockies in consecutive games before Wednesday night, when there was no drama in Colorado’s 16-5 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks.
However, the Rockies have shown a knack for putting losses behind them and racking up wins in bunches this season. They will need a good outing from rookie right-hander Antonio Senzatela, who faces Arizona’s Zack Godley in the rubber match of a key National League West series on Thursday afternoon.
Senzatela (9-2, 4.10 ERA) is tied for second in the major leagues for wins; Los Angeles ace Clayton Kershaw and Kansas City’s Jason Vargas have 10 apiece.
