Nabs win against former club
Marquez (2-1) earned the win over Colorado on Saturday, allowing four runs on four hits and two walks while striking out five batters over five innings.
Analysis
Marquez was far from sharp, especially in terms of allowing the long ball -- the Rockies knocked three homers against him. However, he pitched just well enough (and just deep enough) to pick up his second straight victory thanks to a breakout performance by San Diego's offense. Marquez tossed five scoreless frames in his previous start April 6 versus Pittsburgh, but in his other two outings he's allowed a combined eight runs (including five homers) across eight innings. He's projected to next take the mound on the road against the Angels.

Works his way out of trouble in win
Marquez (1-1) earned the win Monday against the Pirates, allowing no runs on six hits and one walk while striking out four over five innings.
Analysis
Marquez navigated traffic throughout the outing, escaping jams in multiple innings to keep Pittsburgh off the board. The righty stranded runners at the corners in both the second and third innings, highlighted by a key strikeout of Ryan O'Hearn on his fastest pitch of the day at 95 mph. It was a much sharper outing compared to his season debut, where Marquez allowed four runs over three innings against San Francisco. The win snapped a 12-start stretch without a victory (0-9), marking the 31-year-old's first win since June 18. Marquez will look to ride this momentum into his next start, scheduled against a Rockies lineup that has had trouble scoring runs so far in 2026.
