LOS ANGELES — Antonio Senzatela pitched seven sparkling innings, C.J. Cron slugged a three-run homer and the Colorado Rockies beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-0 on Sunday afternoon, taking two of three from the defending World Series champions.
Senzatela allowed two hits, struck out five and walked one in a brilliant outing on the mound.
The Rockies won a rare road series in Los Angeles against the Dodgers, although they also achieved the feat in the pandemic shortened 2020 season.
The Dodgers missed an opportunity to gain ground on NL West-leading San Francisco, which lost 9-0 to the East-leading Atlanta Braves, who come to Los Angeles on Monday. The Giants lead the Dodgers by two games.
The Rockies will next travel to Texas for a series with the Rangers that begins Monday.
