German Marquez Flounders His Way To Win
6 years agoColorado Rockies ace German Marquez has been terrible recently, and his struggles continued on Saturday. The Padres chased Marquez in the sixth inning after Eric Hosmer cleared the bases with a slow-rolling single to left-center. Marquez was charged with seven earned runs on 10 hits and four walks, and even his eight strikeouts couldn't save him. Fortunately, Colorado's offense banged across plenty of runs to gift Marquez with the win, but he certainly didn't earn it. He's now had just one quality start in his last five turns, and his season ERA is all the way up to 4.57. Marquez is struggling mightily, but the hope is that it's still a temporary condition. He'll have to right the ship against the Dodgers next week.
