Marquez makes history, Rox beat Cards 11-1
DENVER — German Marquez became the second youngest pitcher in franchise history to record a win and the Colorado Rockies provided a ton of offensive fireworks in an 11-1 victory over the postseason-hopeful St. Louis Cardinals.
Jamey Wright earned a win when he was 21 years, 206 days old on July 17, 1996, vs. the San Francisco Giants. Marquez is 21 years, 212 days old today, just six days too young to claim the record.
He’s the third oldest Rockie to start a game, behind Wright and Franklin Morales.
