On Tuesday night, Germán Márquez proved he belongs in the All-Star ranks.
Making his debut Midsummer Classic performance, Márquez took the mound on his home field — a place where he’s 6-1 with a 3.06 ERA in 12 starts with two complete games, 69 strikeouts and 29 walks in 70 2⁄3 innings this season — and pitched just like Rockies fans would expect.
Three up, three down. Thirteen pitches. Four swing and misses. One strikeout.
The Venezuelan-born star who was traded to the Rockies in 2016 just did his thing and the Coors Field crowd loved it.
