Senzatela Leads Isotopes to 3-1 Victory
Antonio Senzatela spun a gem on Thursday afternoon, leading the Isotopes (40-39) to a 3-1 victory over the Sacramento River Cats (35-45). The win marks the first time the Isotopes have scored three runs or less and still come away with a victory in 2018.
Senzatela tossed 7.2 shutout innings, allowing three hits during his time on the mound. The right-hander struck out four and walked one. Senzatela's outing was the longest of the season for the Isotopes pitching staff. He has now lowered his ERA to 2.15 (9er/37.2ip) in eight games for Albuquerque this season.
Senzatela helped his own cause at the plate, delivering an RBI single in the bottom of the second inning.
