Germán Márquez

Following a three-game sweep of the San Diego Padres, the Rockies will continue to keep their momentum going at Coors as they face off against the NL Central-leading Brewers. Germán Márquez (4-6, 4.60 ERA) seemed to really be finding his groove lately, pitching to a 1.89 ERA over his previous six starts before getting beat up by the Cincinnati Reds this past Saturday. The eight earned runs allowed matched his season high, and making adjustments will be paramount to the Venezuelan righty’s success on Thursday. After the outing, Márquez said it was a “rough outing,” and “I have to take that outing off my brain and be ready for the next one.” It’s true that most of the hits allowed were singles or seeing-eye doubles. The Brewers’ 2.10 team batting average is the lowest in the National League, so now’s as good a time as any to refresh and lock back in to his dominant ways.

According to MLB Network insider Mark Feinsand, the Colorado Rockies are receiving calls on the availability of starting pitchers Germán Márquez and Jon Gray as the 2021 MLB trade deadline (July 30) draws ever closer. While there have been several speculative reports about Gray’s availability, including MLBTradeRumors.com recently listing him...

After an absolute shellacking in the first game of the three-game set in Cincinnati, the Colorado Rockies look to bounce back an salvage their second road win of the trip. Ace Germán Márquez (4-5, 3.91 ERA) takes the mound for the Rockies and will look to build on a nice run that he has put together in his last six starts. Since having the worst outing of his career on May 4th in which he failed to get out of the first inning after allowing eight runs to the Giants, Márquez has been on an absolute tear. In his last six starts, Márquez has an ERA of 1.89 and a record of 3-2 due to a lack of run support.

It seems like so long ago that the Colorado Rockies swept the Texas Rangers, but its only been two games. The Rockies have since fell back to Earth, dropping two in a row to the Oakland Athletics for the series loss. It’s not been all bad, though: Brendan Rodgers finally hit his first big league home run, and Jhoulys Chacín was one pitch away from an immaculate inning. As the weather gets hotter in Colorado, the Rockies will look to do the same with a win against the A’s today to avoid the series sweep.

German Marquez and Jon Gray keep inching closer to Ubaldo Jimenez and Jorge de la Rosa. We examine what sets the best Colorado Rockies pitchers in history apart.

German Marquez mowed with his “Easy Cheese” stuff. The bullpen, after a brief blip, didn’t blink. And a walk-off wild pitch was a welcome reprieve from the depressing storylines that have mostly comprised the Rockies’ 2021 season. Put together, those ingredients gave the Rockies a 3-2, extra-innings victory over the...

When it comes to playing games on the road this year, no one has been worse than the Colorado Rockies, who are 4-22 away from Coors Field through the first two months of the season. Despite that depressing record, there is good news. The Texas Rangers are currently riding a...

The first game of Thursday’s double header against the New York Mets marked Rockies’ frontman Germán Márquez’s 120th career game in a big league uniform. He pitched a gem, throwing for six innings while allowing just three hits and striking out six. His one mistake came on a misplaced slider that barely squeaked out of the yard to give the Rockies the loss. What’s important, however, are those six strikeouts.

After yesterday’s postponement, the Rockies and Mets will finish their four game series today with a pair of 7-inning games. As a refresher, the Rockies had their four game win streak snapped on Tuesday and now they look to start a new one in the Big Apple. Tuesday’s game was dominated by the Mets pitching staff as they held the Rockies to just three hits for the fifth time this season. This will be the second time this season that the Rockies and Mets have had weather issues and been forced to play 7-inning doubleheaders.

After an uncharacteristic start to the season, things are beginning to come together for Germán Márquez. And now, Márquez has etched himself in the Rockies record books. He struck out Cameron Maybin for his 700th career strikeout in the third inning against the Mets on Thursday, becoming the fastest pitcher in franchise history to reach that milestone, and sixth overall. He joins Jorge De La Rosa (985), Ubaldo Jiménez (773), Pedro Astacio (749), Jeff Francis (742) and Jon Gray (740) on that list.

After a frankly brutal series in San Diego, the Rockies return to the 303 to take on the similarly-maligned Arizona Diamondbacks. Both teams are on five-game losing streaks, but one will return to the win column tonight. Seth Frankoff (0-0, 3.86 ERA) will start for the Snakes. Making his second...

The Rockies and Reds combined for 27 hits and 21 runs in last night’s Colorado victory. The Blake Street faithful will hope for similar offensive production from their team on Friday when the Rockies face off against Wade Miley, who himself is on the heels of the finest start of his career.

Following two losses in St. Louis, the Rockies are still searching for their third road win of the year. The team showed heart and perseverance in last night’s game in mounting two comebacks, but ultimately fell short. Germán Márquez will take the ball coming off the most disappointing start of...

After another abysmal road trip that saw the Rockies (10-18) finally win two road games (they went 2-5 on the trip), the Boys on Blake return home for a quick three-game set against the first place San Francisco Giants (17-11). Since last night’s game was postponed, the teams will play a seven-inning doubleheader today.
