CHICAGO -- Unlike his season debut on Friday against the Cardinals, Reds starter Jason Marquis could not make an adjustment or course correction vs. the Cubs after a shaky first couple of innings.
After Marquis and the Reds went down early, they stayed down for a 5-0 loss to Chicago to drop two of three in the series. Lasting only four innings, a season low for the Cincinnati rotation, Marquis gave up all five runs (four earned) on seven hits and three walks with six strikeouts.
"It's tough to put your team behind in a hole like that," Marquis said.
