Cubs come out of hibernation, evade Rockies sweep

With the battle for rotation spots getting tighter and tighter as Jon Gray nears his return, Colorado Rockies rookie Antonio Senzatela kept up the trend of young guys making the decision nearly impossible in more ways than one.

The Chicago Cubs, reeling after losing three straight to these Rockies, jumped all over Senzatela in the first, plating four runs, the big blows coming on a double from Anthony Rizzo and a three-run blast off the bat of Ben Zobrist.

The first inning has been problematic for the 22-year-old so far this season.
