Diamondbacks 6, Rockies 5: Bullpen blows 12-hit Colorado night, Márquez’s quality start

If you knew that Germán Márquez would hit triple digits three times and record his ninth quality start of the season on Friday night against Arizona, while at the same time the Rockies would put up five runs on 10 hits against Madison Bumgarner, would you think Colorado would win?

One would hope, but that’s not how this season is playing out for the Rockies. Despite holding a 5-2 lead after six innings, the bullpen completely collapsed with Lucas Gilbreath losing the strike zone and giving up two runs before Alex Colomé was hit hard and gave up two more in earning the loss.
