Rockies 3, Dodgers 2: Connor Joe and Germán Márquez propel the Rox to victory

The Rockies earned their first win of the season, beating the Dodgers 3-2 at Coors Field.

Márquez dealing

Germán Márquez returned to All-Star form tonight, going seven innings — one of four starting pitchers to do that so far — and allowing just one run on three hits while striking out five. He retired nine in a row to close out the seventh.

Connor Joe had a heck of a night at the plate, too. Joe went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a run. He also hit the Rockies first homer of the season — a 444-footer — to dead center:

After the game, Joe said he “tried to battle once it gets to 0-2 and then got a pitch up and put a good swing on it.
