DENVER —
Nick Margevicius has hit a lull.
It can’t be dismissed.
The rookie is throwing pitches where he doesn’t want to, falling behind in counts, giving up loud hits.
But he doesn’t let games get away.
The 22-year-old left-hander, who a year ago was riding buses around the Midwest League in low-A ball, on Sunday showed remarkable poise once again in not crumbling when the game threatened to get away from him in a place where things can get away from pitchers in a flash.
Though the damage done against him propelled the Rockies to a 10-7 victory, Margevicius lasted five innings when it seemed he might be gone much earlier.
