The Rockies’ attempted two-man heist of the Phillies’ home opener needed more men for the job.
German Marquez dazzled, throwing six shutout innings in his 2025 debut after missing most of the last two seasons due to injury. And catcher Hunter Goodman blasted a 405-foot homer to put the Rockies up 1-0 in the sixth.
But the Marquez-Goodman battery couldn’t do it all, and got no help from nearly anyone else. Philadelphia roared back with a four-run seventh en route to a 6-1 victory to drop Colorado to 1-3 on the young season.
In the decisive frame, southpaw Scott Alexander got two outs before giving up a double and a walk.
