Senzatela (5-1) earned the win Tuesday against the Cubs, allowing two runs on five hits and three walks across six innings. He struck out four.
Senzatela allowed one run in the third and another in the fourth while working out of a jam with the bases loaded, retiring the final seven men he faced to finish six frames. He struggled to find the strike zone at times, walking three batters for the third time this season, but he limited Chicago to one extra-base hit and benefited from sound defense behind him. Senzatela has been a revelation through the early stages, tossing five quality starts in seven outings while posting a 2.86 ERA and tying for the league lead in wins. He will look to keep it rolling Sunday against the Dodgers.
