Despite some late noise, the Rockies were never in the game.
But after winning the first two games at Coors Field, and with a resurgent German Marquez taking the mound Wednesday night, the Rockies seemed poised to end the drought.The Dodgers hammered Marquez, who left the game with a cut on his right thumb that interfered with his ability to throw his fastball, and coasted to an 8-4 victory.
“There was some underlying effect to that, for sure,” manager Bud Black said. “Where he places his thumb on the fastball, it impacted his ability to throw the fastball because of the pain. Sort of a stinging pain.”Marquez gave up five runs on five hits and three walks in 3 1/3 innings, his shortest start of the season.
Plus, Marquez entered the gave riding a streak of four solid starts in which he had posted a 3.16 ERA. Two Marquez walks, a sacrifice fly by Eddy Alvarez, and a two-run double by Trea Turner boosted the Dodgers’ lead to 4-0 in the second.
