With the start of the Major League Baseball season postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic, we here at The Denver Post took a look at how the Rockies would fare in MLB The Show 20 on PlayStation 4. We will have a story for every game that had been scheduled until real-life baseball returns. Here’s a look at the virtual Rockies’ preseason preview. Entering Monday’s game, the Rockies were 22-10.
DETROIT — Antonio Senzatela and the Rockies relief corps shut down the Tigers’ bats en route to a 5-0 win at Comerica Park on Monday.
Senzatela (2-0) allowed just one hit and struck out six in five innings of work to notch his second victory of the year.
Colorado got on the board in the fourth inning when Charlie Blackmon drove in David Dahl with an RBI single off of Tigers starter Ivan Nova. Later, shortstop Trevor Story hit a sacrifice fly to drive in Raimel Tapia to make it 2-0.
The Rockies punched in three more on back-to-back-to-back home runs by Story, Daniel Murphy and Ryan McMahon off of reliever Kyle Funkhouser.
Colorado improved to 23-10 on the year while Detroit fell to 14-21. The two teams meet again Tuesday. The live stream will begin at 2 p.m. MT.
