The Colorado Rockies (20-68) weren’t able to keep pace with the Chicago White Sox (29-59) on Friday as their bats were held in check by Adrian Houser. The Rockies' pitching staff did the same, with a lone home run proving the difference maker. However, with a slightly struggling arm, the Rockies have a chance to get something started tonight behind their all-time strikeout leader.
Germán Márquez (3-9, 5.62 ERA) had himself quite the month of June. In six starts he posted a 2.97 ERA over 30 1⁄3 innings while striking out 29 against eight walks.
