Between the Rockies bats being unable to figure out the Mets arms and Germán Márquez not having his best command, there was very little to get excited about for Rockies fans in game one of Saturday’s doubleheader, as they fell to the visiting Mets 5-1.
Márquez misses, but recovers
Germán Márquez has struggled with fastball command all season, and that didn’t change as he took the mound to begin his outing on Saturday. He left consecutive fastballs in the middle of the zone to open the game, resulting in a Brandon Nimmo base hit and Starling Marte home run to quickly put the visitors up 2-0.
