Head bowed, hands on his knees, German Marquez struck a pose befitting the Rockies’ season.
The right-hander had just served up a two-run homer to Chicago second baseman Lenyn Sosa, putting the Rockies in a 5-2 hole in the second inning. When Marquez’s night was done after six innings, the hole was 6-2.
Given the Rockies’ all-too-familiar failure to hit in the clutch, they looked doomed. They were.
And so it goes for the Rockies, who lost, 10-3, to the White Sox on Saturday night at Coors Field in front of a fireworks crowd of 47,351.
