German Marquez Rocked By Cubbies
6 years agoColorado Rockies starting pitcher German Marquez got lit up at Wrigley on Wednesday when he surrendered eight earned runs in 5 1/3 innings. Marquez gave up three in the fifth, but it all came crashing down in the sixth when he lost control. Over the course of six batters, Marquez gave up a double, a single, a walk, and hit two batters. He was pulled at that point, but he left the bases loaded with one out, so reliever Chris Rusin made sure not to leave any of those potential runs out there and quickly gave up a bases-clearing double. While owners are never happy with a start like this, it's likely just a hiccough. He'll get a chance for redemption when Chicago visits him in Colorado next week.
