KEY GAME INFORMATION
WASHINGTON:
Manager: Dusty Baker (second season)
Who's new? CF Adam Eaton, C Matt Wieters, 1B Adam Lind, LHP Enny Romero, RHP Joe Blanton
Who's gone? CF Ben Revere, C Wilson Ramos, RHP Lucas Giolito, RHP Mat Latos, LHP Sean Burnett, RHP Mark Melancon, LHP Marc Rzepczynski, RHP Yusmeiro Petit
Projected lineup: CF Adam Eaton (.284, 14 HR, 59 RBI, 14 SB with White Sox), SS Trea Turner (.342, 13, 40, 33), 2B Daniel Murphy (.347, 25, 104), RF Bryce Harper (.243, 24, 86, 21 SB), 3B Anthony Rendon (.270, 20, 85), LF Jayson Werth (.244, 21, 69), 1B Ryan Zimmerman (.218, 15, 46) or Adam Lind (.239, 20, 58 with Mariners), C Matt Wieters (.243, 17, 66 with Orioles)
Rotation: RH Max Scherzer (20-7, 2.96 ERA), RH Tanner Roark (16-10, 2.83), LH Gio Gonzalez (11-11, 4.57), RH Stephen Strasburg (15-4, 3.60), RH Joe Ross (7-5, 3.43)
Key relievers: RH Shawn Kelley (3-2, 2.64), RH Joe Blanton (7-2, 2.48), RH Blake Treinen (4-1, 2.28), LH Sammy Solis (2-4, 2.41), RH Trevor Gott (0-0, 1.50), LH Oliver Perez (2-3, 4.95), LH Enny Romero (2-0, 5.91 with Rays)
Hot spots: First base and closer. Zimmerman posted a career-low .642 OPS last season and was often spelled by left-handed hitter Clint Robinson. Now 32, Zimmerman must prove he's worthy of regular playing time. Robinson and free-agent pickup Lind are next in line. The ninth inning could be a committee job too, though it's never been the Nationals' preferred method. After Kenley Jansen spurned D.C. for less money in L.A., their choices were limited. Kelley and Blanton have never closed in a combined 20 seasons in the majors, but both were stalwart set-up men last season. Joe Nathan and his 377 career saves are also in camp on a minor-league deal.
Outlook: Trading former top prospect Lucas Giolito to the White Sox for Eaton signaled the Nationals' championship ambitions. Their five-game loss to the Dodgers last October marked the third time in five years they've fallen just short of the NLCS. Washington begins the season with some familiar weapons ' a dangerous heart of the lineup, an experienced bench and exceptional starting pitching. Eaton is a huge upgrade over Revere at the plate, but Wieters will be pressed to replace Ramos' 3.5 wins above replacement (via FanGraphs). Failing to sign a marquee closer could prove fatal if Kelley, Nathan or someone else can't hold down the ninth inning.
COLORADO: 2016: 75-87, third place
Manager: Bud Black (first season)
Who's new? 1B Ian Desmond, IF Alexi Amarista, RHP Greg Holland, LHP Mike Dunn
Who's gone? Manager Walt Weiss, LHP Jorge De La Rosa, RHP Eddie Butler, LHP Boone Logan, C Nick Hundley, IF Daniel Descalso, OF Ryan Raburn
Projected lineup: CF Charlie Blackmon (.324, 29 HR, 82 RBI, 17 SB), 2B D.J. LeMahieu (.348, 11, 66, 11), 3B Nolan Arenado (.294, 41, 133), RF Carlos Gonzalez (.298, 25, 100), 1B Mark Reynolds (.282, 14, 53), LF David Dahl (.315, 7, 24) or Gerardo Parra (.253, 7, 39), SS Trevor Story (.272, 27, 72), C Tony Wolters (.259, 3, 30)
Rotation: RH Jon Gray (10-10, 4.61 ERA), RH Tyler Chatwood (12-9, 3.87), LH Tyler Anderson (5-6, 3.54), LH Kyle Freeland (6-3, 3.91 at Triple-A), RH German Marquez (1-1, 5.23)
Key relievers: Greg Holland (did not pitch in 2016), Adam Ottavino (1-3, 2.67, 7/12 SV), Mike Dunn (6-1, 3.40, 4/8 SV with Marlins), Jake McGee (2-3, 4.73, 15/19 SV), Jordan Lyles (4-5, 5.83), Chad Qualls (2-0, 5.23), Chris Rusin (3-5, 3.74), Carlos Estevez (3-7, 5.24, 11/18 SV)
Hot spots: Catcher and closer. Wolters was 23 years old and hadn't played a game above Double-A last year when the Rockies claimed him off waivers from Cleveland. Now he's the most experienced catcher on the Rockies' 40-man roster, having played 71 major league games. A pitch-framing specialist with rare agility behind the plate, Wolters must coax pitchers through Coors Field and its occasional malefactions. While Colorado's rotation is the best it's looked in years, the ninth inning could be an adventure. Seven pitchers recorded a save for the Rockies in 2016. Now, a man who hasn't thrown a competitive pitch since 2015 might be their best option. Holland, 31, saved 125 games for the Royals from 2013-15 before elbow surgery paused his career. Ottavino will close if Holland can't.
Outlook: The Rockies probably won't catch the Dodgers or Giants this season, but a .500 record or better would be a big boost for their rebuilding movement. Black skippered the Padres from 2007-15, then spent last year in the Angels' front office. His first task: keeping morale steady after a spate of injuries and illness struck the clubhouse. The Rockies' biggest offseason acquisition was veteran Desmond, but he'll miss the beginning of the season with a fractured hand. Pitcher Chad Bettis, who led the Rockies with 32 starts last year, is undergoing chemotherapy treatment for testicular cancer. Backup catcher Tom Murphy (hairline fracture in forearm) and outfielder Dahl (ribs) could also start the season on the DL. If they can get past these early hurdles, the Rockies will be competitive at worst and dangerous at best.
PREVIEW
Rockies rookie Senzatela faces test from Nats
 

DENVER -- The Colorado Rockies could use another strong start Thursday from rookie Antonio Senzatela as they seek to split a four-game series with the Washington Nationals.

Washington's rampaging offense in the past two games crushed Colorado starters German Marquez and Tyler Chatwood, who worked a combined nine innings and allowed 28 hits and 13 runs as the Nationals won 15-12 on Tuesday and 11-4 on Wednesday.

Senzatela starts against Nationals left-hander Gio Gonzalez starts in the series finale.

First baseman Ryan Zimmerman has been a big part of the offensive surge for the Nationals, whose 15-6 record is the best in the majors. Washington has won nine of its past 10 games and is 8-1 on a road trip that ends Thursday.

Zimmerman went 3-for-5 on Wednesday with a homer, his eighth of the season, and three RBIs. He has homered in three of his past four games and five of his past eight. Zimmerman is hitting .387 with seven doubles, eight homers, 21 RBIs and 16 runs. He has a .439 on-base percentage and an .800 slugging percentage.

"It's great to see Zim having success because he was used to success," Nationals manager Dusty Baker said. "He had success before I got here. It's a beautiful thing to see him doing well.

"He's hitting the ball on the line. He's not missing pitches. He's not going after bad pitches most of the time. And, man, it's just great to see. Everybody loves him. He invigorates a lot of life in the team."

Gonzalez (2-0, 1.35 ERA) has pitched at least six innings in each of his four starts and has allowed two homers in 26 2/3 innings. He won his last outing, giving up two hits and one run in 6 1/3 innings Saturday at New York in the Nationals' 3-1 victory over the Mets.

Gonzalez is 3-0 with a 3.86 ERA in four career starts against the Rockies and 1-0 with a 6.00 ERA in two starts at Coors Field.

Senzatela (3-0, 2.08) has won three straight starts and will make his fifth career start and his debut against the Nationals. The Rockies have won each of his four starts, including Saturday against San Francisco, when he pitched seven innings for the second straight game and gave up one run on four hits with no walks and three strikeouts.

The 22-year-old has allowed four walks while striking out 17 in 26 innings. He is 2-0 with a 1.93 ERA in two starts at Coors Field.

Senzatela had not pitched above the Double-A level before this season.

"Nothing really affects him or bothers him," said catcher Dustin Garneau, who likely will be behind the plate Thursday. "He understands who he is and what he can do. That correlates to the stuff he has. ... His fastball's above average, and he knows it. His off-speed's coming along, but it's getting better to where he can use it and keep guys honest to where they don't sit on his fastball."

Senzatela's repertoire includes a fastball that will reach the upper 90 mph range, a slider that is improving and a changeup that he throws a few times a game but has gotten much better.

Referring to Senzatela's fastball, Garneau said: "It's hard. It spins through the zone. It naturally cuts sometimes at 97 (mph). It's a really, really good fastball to both sides of the plate. He can throw inside when he needs to, either for strikes or to keep guys honest."

Garneau said of Senzatela's slider, "(It) is becoming a more of a bona fide pitch. Command-wise, it's getting over the plate more. For him in spring training, the biggest thing (with his slider) was everything was yanked. Now his slider's in the zone. It's competitive, and guys have to respect it enough to where it keeps them off his fastball."
