Despite a grand slam from Charlie Blackmon, the Colorado Rockies fell to the Atlanta Braves 6-5 yesterday due to early pitching struggles from Chi Chi González and Yency Almonte. Today the Rockies will look to lean on Antonio Senzatela to keep the Braves in check and pull off a road win against the NL East leaders.
Antonio Senzatela is tonight’s starting pitcher for the Rockies, coming off a quietly excellent August. In last month he put up an ERA of 2.93 over five starts with 22 strikeouts to six walks, as well as being the only Rockies starter not to give up a home run.
