LOS ANGELES -- In the past, the Dodgers have gotten the best of Antonio Senzatela. But in the series finale on Sunday afternoon at Dodger Stadium, the right-hander turned the tables, firing seven innings of two-hit ball in the Rockies’ 5-0 win.

Senzatela has struggled mightily on the road this season, entering the day still searching for his first road win of 2021. In 12 career appearances vs. Los Angeles, he had a 7.08 ERA. On Sunday, though, Senzatela flirted with perfection through the four innings as he sat down the game’s first 12 batters.

"This was probably my best career game,” Senzatela said. “I just tried to go out there and do the best I can. I got a good game, we got a win. I think this is one of the best games of my life.”

Senzatela etched himself into the Rockies’ history books by becoming the fourth pitcher to throw seven or more scoreless innings at Dodger Stadium while allowing two or fewer hits. He kept the Dodgers off-balance with his fastball, recording a 31 percent called strike plus whiff rate with the pitch against the reigning World Series champions.

"He's a fastball pitcher that has developed quality secondary pitches. His win-loss record is not indicative to me about how he's pitched,” Black said. “Good for him, that was a solid ballgame on the road against the world champions in their ballpark in the dog days of August, and he pitched great."

In years past, Senzatela has had trouble keeping the Dodgers in the ballpark. Los Angeles had clubbed 13 homers against him, the most of any team he’s faced in his career. Through 27 2/3 innings at Dodger Stadium entering the series finale, Senzatela had a 7.48 ERA. But with his five-pitch arsenal working to record 56 strikes, Senzatela managed to pick up that first road win of the season, aided by some early run support.

“It was really good. Every game here is nice. You battle through every time,” Senzatela said. “It feels really nice to win this game, have a supportive team, had a good defense, good hitters, they make some runs, good bullpen working out, it's good.”

C.J. Cron has been on a tear in the month of August and didn’t show any signs of slowing down in the series finale. With two runners on base, Cron demolished a 2-1 fastball from Dodgers starter Mitch White and parked it a Statcast-projected 392 feet to left-center field. The homer gave Cron 33 RBIs in August, the most any player has recorded in a single month this season in MLB.

"I can cover more pitches than I normally can cover,” Cron said of his recent success at the plate. “As long as it's kind of a pitch that I feel like I can handle, it doesn't really matter to me if it's a slider, heater, changeup. I kind of feel like I can cover all three right now and as long as I get it over the plate and stay stingy on that, I can usually put a good swing on it. It's just something I'm seeing the ball early and trying to pick it up as early as possible and just putting a good swing on it.”

The Rockies benefited from a bases-loaded situation to tack on a pair of runs in the seventh. Rio Ruiz plated one with a sacrifice fly to right field and Trevor Story scored from third base on a wild pitch from reliever Shane Greene.

With the win, the Rockies notched their second road series victory this season and have won seven of their last 10 games. Their first road series win came before the All-Star break, when they took two out of three from the Padres in San Diego.

"I hope the guys feel good about this [win]. I think they do. The Dodgers are fighting and we're fighting, too," said Black. “But we beat the Dodgers two out of three, just plain and simple. We've been here enough over the years, we've had a lot of games like we've had the last couple of nights that haven't gone our way. We won two out of three, we should be proud of that accomplishment.”
