Senzatela enters Sunday following his best start of the year: one earned run on six hits through nine innings pitched in a 3- 1 home win Tuesday against the Athletics. It was Senzatela’s first MLB complete game and the Rockies’ first at home since 2016. Senzatela threw a seasonhigh 109 pitches. The 25- yearold right- hander will make his third start of the year against the Dodgers on Sunday. Senzatela did not factor into a 10- 6 loss in LA with two runs allowed on seven hits over 5- 1/ 3 innings on Sept. 4. He also lost 11- 3 at the Dodgers with six runs allowed on seven hits on Aug. 23. Gonsolin, 26, is in his second season pitching for the Dodgers. He has three quality starts this season and earned his first win last week at the Padres — allowing only one earned run over seven innings. Gonsolin pitched six innings against Colorado on Sept. 5 and he gave up two runs ( one earned) on three hits in a no- decision.

Trending: Entering Saturday, shortstop Trevor Story led the National League and ranked second in the MLB with 14 stolen bases. As a team, the Rockies rank fourth in the NL and eighth in the majors with 32 stolen bases.

At issue: The Rockies have not won any games by more than five runs this season as the only team in the MLB without a six- run victory. Colorado’s current stretch of 89 consecutiv­e games without winning a game by at least six runs is the longest such a drought in franchise history.
