The Good
—Jason Marquis was pretty good for the second start in a row. He pitched 6.1 innings, allowing 3 runs. I’m not about to become a Marquis convert or anything, but he still gets credit when he has a good game, and he did today. If he did this every time out, you’d never hear a peep from me about him.
–Most of the offense was good today. Marlon Byrd, Todd Frazier, and Zack Cozart all homered. Cozart, in particular continues to impress after hitting himself to the brink of irrelevance last year.
