Colorado Rockies' Antonio Senzatela Makes History By Continuing to Escape Jams

Antonio Senzatela has been far from perfect so far this season, but the Colorado Rockies pitcher has been dancing around trouble to a historic degree.

The 30-year-old right-hander gave up 10 hits in his 5.1 innings of action against the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday. And yet, all the Phillies could muster up against him was one unearned run.

Philadelphia stranded one runner in the first, three in the second, two in the third, one in the fourth, one in the fifth and two in the sixth. After Senzatela got the hook, however, the Phillies scored on a home run and wild pitch to secure the 3-1 victory.

In his regular season debut against the Tampa Bay Rays on March 29, Senzatela tossed 4.1 scoreless innings. He gave up nine hits and two walks without any strikeouts that day.

Senzatela now boasts a 2.172 WHIP and .457 on-base percentage against in 2025, which hardly lines up with his perfect 0.00 ERA. He has given up 19 hits, none of which have led to an earned run.

According to MLB.com's Sarah Langs, that is the most hits a pitcher has allowed through their first two appearances of a regular season without giving up an earned run since earned runs became an official stat in 1913.

There are only three examples of a pitcher achieving the feat in any two-game span over the last 95 years, none of which were done by a Rockies pitcher. Bill Lee did it in 1938, Stan Bahnsen did it in 1973 and Jaime Navarro did it in 1993.
