It was a late night at Coors Field as the Colorado Rockies (12-52) welcomed fans for a Brenton Doyle bobblehead. However, the promotion likely ended up being the highlight as the offense struggled to produce, and the pitching couldn’t contain the New York Mets (41-24) in an 8-1 loss.
Germán Márquez’s shaky, yet solid start
Márquez has been solid over his last few starts, but he definitely wasn’t his sharpest in this game. Through five innings and some change, Márquez allowed four runs on eight hits with three strikeouts. The major blows came from three solo home runs that he allowed to Ronny Mauricio, Jared Young, and Jeff McNeil.
