Elias Díaz hit a two-run single off Kendall Graveman in the ninth inning, and the Colorado Rockies overcame the loss of starting pitcher Antonio Senzatela to beat the Chicago White Sox 6-5 on Wednesday.

Senzatela, making his second start since returning from a shoulder injury, led 3-2 with two outs in the seventh when Leury García hit a comebacker off the pitcher’s left shin that rolled away for a single. The 27-year-old right-hander threw some warmup pitches before walking off the mound.

With closer Liam Hendricks unavailable after throwing 27 pitches Tuesday, Graveman (3-2) blew a save for the fifth time in 10 chances.

He walked Brendan Rodgers, Iglesias and Ryan McMahon on 16 pitches, then gave up Díaz’s hit on a first-pitch sinker.

 Iglesias slid home as right fielder Andrew Vaughn’s throw skipped to the backstop to give Colorado only its second walkoff win this season.
