Marquez allowed six runs on eight hits and two walks with one strikeout in four innings versus Washington on Friday. He did not factor in the decision.
The right-hander had his start pushed back a day after bad weather in Atlanta postponed Thursday's contest. Marquez didn't seem to benefit from the extra day, as he allowed a pair of runs in the first inning and then four more in the fourth, although Colorado's offense was able to spare him from a loss. He's been rather inconsistent since the start of August, and he now owns a 4.16 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 168:58 K:BB through 171 innings overall. Marquez lines up for an unpleasant home start versus the Dodgers next week.
