If the second half of the season goes as well as the first half did for Germán Márquez, the 2021 season could be the best of his six-year career. In his first 19 starts, Márquez went 8-6 with a 3.36 ERA, three complete games, and 114 strikeouts. Part two of his All-Star campaign begins tonight when the Rockies take on the Mariners for a two-game set at Coors Field.
The Rockies split their first two games against the Mariners in Seattle on June 22 and 23, including a 5-2 win when Márquez held the Mariners to one run on two hits (one homer) with seven strikeouts in eight innings.
