Antonio Senzatela pitched a perfect final 2.2 innings on Tuesday to earn his first career save in the Rockies' 5-1 win over the Astros. He struck out three.
Fantasy Impact
Senzatela is working solely out of the Rockies' bullpen for the first time in his career and he has been brilliant in three appearances thus far. Following his first career save on Tuesday, Senzatela has now pitched 7.1 scoreless innings, allowing only two hits with a 9:1 K:BB ratio. The Rockies have five wins this season and four pitchers have now recorded a save, so the closer's job is completely wide open. Senzatela has been the best of the bunch out of the Rockies' bullpen, so he's worth closely monitoring.
Colorado Rockies manager Warren Schaeffer said that the team plans to use Antonio Senzatela out of the bullpen next season.

While Senzatela's season as a starter finished with a 7.42 ERA and 1.91 WHIP over 108 innings, his performance improved significantly out of the bullpen, where he posted a 2.86 ERA and 1.50 WHIP. His effectiveness in that role will likely lead to him serving as a multi-inning option going forward.
