The Pittsburgh Pirates were flying high after a successful road trip that returned seven wins against four losses. Last night, Colorado Rockies (ace) German Marquez came to spoil the party.
Marquez went eight innings, surrendered three hits, gave up one walk, and drew seven strikeouts without allowing a run.
Marquez threw all five of his pitches during last nights game- his four-seam, sinker, changeup, knuckle curve, and slider. He also mixed his pitches well, being careful not to tip his tendencies too much in favor of the hitter, as demonstrated by this chart below.
