June 19, 2022 12:18 AM : Marquez didn't factor into the decision during Saturday's 5-4 victory over San Diego, allowing four runs on eight hits and two walks with seven strikeouts in five innings.
Analysis: Marquez started strong Saturday -- permitting one run in the first four innings -- but surrendered three in the fifth to fall in line for the loss until Colorado rallied in the bottom of the inning. Despite possessing a high 6.16 ERA, Marquez owns a significantly better 4.94 FIP and 3.83 xFIP while striking out at least six batters in each of his last three starts, all Colorado wins. The 27-year-old will need to do a better job of preventing baserunners, as his 1.55 WHIP would be a career high; however, he's trending in the right direction and projects to start again versus Minnesota next weekend.
