Rockies 18, Angels 6
At Tempe Diablo Stadium
The education of right-hander German Marquez continued Friday afternoon against the Angels. His rough, three-run first inning included giving up a two-run homer to Kole Calhoun, a double to Andrelton Simmons, followed by a wild pitch and balk that brought Simmons in to score.
But Marquez regrouped and finished with a relatively decent line: 3 u2153 innings, three runs allowed on five hits, with five strikeouts.
“The first inning, I had trouble commanding my pitches … the ball was a little up,” Marquez said.
