Was a member of the final draft class of the Montreal Expos, having been selected in the third round of the 2004 First-Year Player Draft. IT S STILL EARLY The Rockies 14-8 record, a.636 winning percentage, is tied for the third-best start in franchise history after 22 games the 2013 club was also 14-8 after 22 games in 2011 the Rockies were 15-7 and in 1997 the club was 16-6 after 22 games. With a win tonight, the Rockies would be tied with the 15-8 2013 Rockies for the second-best start after 23 games, one win behind the 16-7 1997 and 2011 Rockies. ONE IS NOT THE LONELIEST NUMBER The Rockies are 7-0 in one-run games so far this season, the only team in MLB to be undefeated in one run games went 12-20 in one-run games in 2016, The last team in MLB to start 7-0 in one-run games was the 2006 Houston Astros. YOU RE GRAND Last night, Carlos González played in his 1,000th game as a member of the Rockies he is the sixth player to play 1,000 or more games with the Rockies (also: Dante Bichette, Vinny Castilla, Todd Helton, Troy Tulowitzki, Larry Walker). He currently has 199 career home runs with Colorado, and would be the fifth player to hit 200 or more home runs with the Rockies (also: Dante Bichette, 201; Vinny Castilla, 239; Todd Helton, 369; Larry Walker, 258). BUEN COMIENZO Antonio Senzatela is the second Venezuelanborn pitcher to earn a win in three of his first four career starts (also: Jeanmar Gómez). Per Elias: Senzatela, who is 3-0 with a 2.08 ERA (26.0 IP, 6 ER), joins Nelson Cruz (3-0, 2.91 ERA) and Joe Kennedy (3-0, 2.49) as the only pitchers in Rockies history to be 3-0 or better with an ERA under 3.00 over their first four career starts. NAZTY With his 1-for-3 night Wednesday, Charlie Blackmon extended his hitting streak to 11 games he is batting.341 (15-for-44) over that span with two doubles, two home runs and 15 RBI. DEEP Charlie Blackmon and Mark Reynolds are both tied for third in the National League with seven home runs Nolan Arenado, who is tied for 11th with six home runs, currently has 117 career home runs, which is one short of tying Brad Hawpe for the ninth-most home runs in Rockies history. Arenado s 1.727 OPS against left-handed pitchers this season ranks second in the Major Leagues. PENMANSHIP The Rockies bullpen is 6-0 with a 3.51 ERA (74.1 IP, 29 ER), which ranks sixth in the National League the pen has allowed 13 runs in the past two games after allowing 20 runs in the first 19 games of the season. Colorado s pen ranks fourth in the NL in innings pitched the Rockies six relief wins are tied for second in the Majors, first in the NL are one of two teams (also: Cleveland) to not yet have a loss charged to a relief pitcher.
