DENVER – It’s like clockwork. The Colorado Rockies got a good-to-great outing from rookie starting pitcher German Marquez, played fantastic defense, got just enough timely hitting, and bounced back from a loss to win another series, this time against the St. Louis Cardinals. At this point, you really could set your watch by it.
The 8-4 win was brought to you by some unlikely characters but led to the 12th series win of the season to just two losses.
The Rockies plated a run in the second on the mighty strength of two groundball singles and a fielder’s choice.
