After a rainout on Monday, The Force was not with the Rockies in Game 1 of this doubleheader. 12-4 was a lopsided final score, but it doesn’t even tell half the story of “The Nightmare on Blake Street” that was Game 1.
Where even is the Márq?
Germán Márquez, touted as this season’s “ace” of the pitching staff, looked like a shell of himself. The Giants struck early with four straight hits, five in their first six batters (Brandon Crawford walked in his first plate appearance). Jason Vosler grounded into a double play that was challenged and overturned, but it took Germán seven batters to record an out and by that time, the Rox were down 4-0.
