Germán Márquez

Germán Márquez allowed five hits and one run with three walks and eight strikeouts over six innings in a no-decision against the Reds on Friday.

Is road-Márquez back? He’s allowed three or fewer runs in six straight starts away from Coors Field. In this start, his knuckle-curve was dominant forcing seven swings-and-misses and very little hard contact while corking as his primary pitch. He was especially good at spotting it right on the low-and-away corner against right-handed batters. We’re not ready to trust yet, but certainly noticing.
