3 years agoColorado Rockies starting pitcher German Marquez took the loss on Monday as he allowed four runs on six hits with two walks and four strikeouts over five innings in a 5-4 loss to the Washington Nationals. Marquez was looking good through the first three innings before falling apart in the fourth. He served up three runs in that frame and Juan Soto followed that up with an RBI groundout in the fifth. The Rockies didn't provide enough run support--they didn't even score a run until after Marquez exited the game--and he was saddled with the loss. The 26-year-old really faded down the stretch, notching just one quality start over his last seven outings. He'll have one more shot to right the ship on Sunday against the Diamondbacks on the road. He'll carry a 4.40 ERA, 1.27 WHIP, and 176:64 K/BB ratio over 180 innings (32) starts into that one.--Jon Mathisen - RotoBaller
