The Rockies took the series opener against the Seattle Mariners tonight with solid contributions from every aspect of the team. Germán Márquez pitched six 1-run innings before handing the game over to the bullpen, who shut the Mariners out in their three innings of work, while the offense provided more than enough run support to get the job done.
Tonight’s win was the Rockies’ fourth straight and seventh in their last eight games. The Rockies have renewed some hope in their playoff chances this season after it looked like their annual June swoon had doomed them.
