The Colorado Rockies needed a bounce back game against the Chicago Cubs. It wasn’t pretty, but it was precisely what they got. Strong enough bullpen work and an offensive surge in the fourth inning put the Rockies ahead after a rough start from Germán Márquez left them trailing to start. The Rockies took the win away from the denizens of Wrigleyville 6-5 in a tense affair. The Rockies are now 5-2 through their first seven games.
