The Colorado Rockies’ latest loss, by the numbers: 7-Eleven, and one.

Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Quinn Priester dominated Colorado on Saturday at American Family Field, pitching a career-high seven innings and striking out a career-high 11. The Rockies had one hit — for the entire game.

The final: Brewers 5, Rockies 0.

It was the ninth time the Rockies have been blanked this season. They lost their fifth straight game and own an 18-65 record, continuing their slide toward the worst record in baseball’s modern era.

The only hit the 24-year-old Priester allowed was a harmless, one-out single by Michael Toglia to right field in the fifth inning. Priester (6-2, 3.35 ERA) walked only two. He racked up 20 swings and misses.

While Priester was pitching the game of his career against the worst team in baseball, Rockies starter Antonio Senzatela took a step backward. The right-hander threw a solid game last Sunday vs. Arizona at Coors Field, notching his third win of the season. He allowed two runs on four hits over 5 1/3 innings. He struck out a season-high five batters.

Saturday, the relentless Brewers pummeled Senzatela for five runs on eight hits in 4 1/3 innings, and his ERA rose to 6.69. Opponents are hitting .355 against him.

Milwaukee took a 2-0 lead in the first, loading the bases on back-to-back singles by Jackson Chourio and Christian Yelich and a walk by William Contreras. Brice Turang’s infield single scored Chourio, and Rhys Hoskins’ sacrifice fly scored Yelich.

Joey Ortiz mashed Senzatela’s first-pitch slider for a two-run homer in the fourth to make it 4-0. Back-to-back doubles by Contreras and Turang made it 5-0 in the fifth.
