It was another tough night for the Rox on the road as they were completely outclassed by the Padres on Friday evening. A big fifth inning for San Diego was more than enough, as Colorado once again found themselves utterly unable to fight back in another lopsided loss.
Márquez masterful...until he wasn’t
Germán Márquez’s start was nothing short of phenomenal for the most part. The fan-favorite righthander took San Diego’s vaunted offense to task for the first four innings of the game, allowing just two hits and inducing weak contact. He looked every bit the ace that he was back in 2020, and it was through his efforts that the game remained close for as long as it did.
