Red Sox pound Rockies; Senzatela suffers MLB-worst 13th loss

Rockies Report, Game 93:

ROCKIES BOTTOM LINE: Lather, rinse, repeat.

The final score Wednesday night was the same as it was the night before. But the Rockies got to this 10-2 defeat a bit differently.

Tuesday, they hung in there through the sixth inning, locked in a scoreless tie before Trevor Story’s bloop to right field released a deluge. Wednesday, the Rockies fell into a 5-0 hole as Boston peppered Antonio Senzatela over the first five innings before Kyle Farmer’s two-run shot brought the Rox back within 5-2 in the eighth inning.

Farmer’s blast, his fourth of the season, was one of eight hits for the Rox. Tyler Freeman, Jordan Beck and Michael Toglia had two hits apiece. Freeman went 2-for-4 in the leadoff spot and improved his average to .345.

But that wasn’t close to enough. The Rox have allowed at least nine runs in three of their last four games and 21 times overall this season, the most in the National League.

The Rockies dropped to 21-72.

ROCKIES STARTER’S REPORT

A nifty 3-6-3 double play allowed Senzatela to escape the first-inning misadventures that have typically proved so costly for him this season; he opened Wednesday by surrendering a double to Jarren Duran, who advanced to third on a Yanquiel Fernandez error, then plunked Roman Anthony three pitches later.

But no reprieve arrived in the second inning. Carlos Narváez capitalized on an 0-1 slider that settled in the middle of the strike zone and launched it 434 feet over the Green Monster, putting Boston in front.

A double and a pair of singles netted one run in the fourth; an inside fastball to Willy Abreu just cleared the right-center field fence in the fifth, doubling the Red Sox lead to 4-0.

The night concluded for Senzatela after five innings and 76 pitches and without a clean frame. The double play in the first inning and another in the third prevented the night from being worse, but with eight hits, a walk, a hit batter, a balk and four earned runs, it was another night to forget.

Senzatela fell to 3-13. No other MLB pitcher has more than 10 losses to his name.

BITS AND PIECES

IT WAS DECIDED FOR THE ROCKIES WHEN: Gonzalez wiped out Colorado’s work in the top of the eighth inning with a two-run blast off reliever Seth Halvorsen to push Boston’s edge to 7-2.

NUMBER TO NOTE: 17.65 — Bullpen ERA during this series in Boston.

WHAT’S NEXT: An off day before a three-game series at Cincinnati. Germán Márquez is scheduled to start the opener Friday night. Rookie Chase Burns, the No. 2 overall pick in last year’s draft, will make his fourth major-league start fresh off his most promising outing to date, a seven-strikeout, 4 2/3-inning effort in which he gave up a single run. First pitch is set for 5:10 p.m. MDT.
