Rockies Recap: German Marquez, lacking command, blasted in loss to Angels

Angels 9, Rockies 7
Tuesday at Tempe Diablo Stadium, Tempe, Ariz.

On the mound: Right-hander German Marquez had a humbling night. The Angels pounded him for eight runs on 10 hits over 4 u2153 innings. Justin Upton hit a solo home run off Marquez in the third and Taylor Ward launched a three-run shot later in the inning. Marquez said it was just a bad night and he’ll forget it and move on. Manager Bud Black said Marquez left too many pitches over the heart of the plate and never commanded his breaking ball.
