On Tuesday, Rockies’ right-hander Germán Márquez took a no-hit bid through eight innings — the third-longest no-hit bid in franchise history. Márquez joins former ace Ubaldo Jiménez as the only two pitchers in Rockies history to have solo shutouts featuring one hit or less. Márquez threw his other one-hit shutout on April 14, 2019 in San Francisco, and Jiménez threw a no-hitter against in Atlanta on April 17, 2010. This particular effort also marked the third-longest no-hit bids both in franchise history and at Coors Field (more on that below).
So the question then becomes, which effort is more impressive?
