With the Colorado Rockies mired in a seven-game losing streak, it was up to German Marquez to master the Mets and Mother Nature.
A day after the scheduled series opener between New York and the Colorado Rockies was postponed due to a blanket of snow that covered the Denver metro area, creating a doubleheader for the teams on Saturday, Marquez responded with a two-hit, complete-game masterpiece in the Rockies’ 7-2 victory in the nightcap before a crowd of 13,906 at chilly Coors Field.
