Senzatela hopes improved diet pays off

SURPRISE, Ariz. -- Whether it's to the batter at the plate, or with the food on his plate, Rockies right-hander Antonio Senzatela aims to make better choices.

In his 2018 Cactus League debut Sunday afternoon against the Rangers, in a 4-2 Rockies loss, Senzatela threw two innings, gave up a run on one hit -- Ryan Rua's opposite-way double off the right-field wall -- struck out two, and walked one.

Most instructive was that he mixed well over the short stint, with 17 fastballs, four curves, three sliders and a changeup. OK, 68 percent is a high fastball percentage, but it was a drop from his 72.
