June 18, 2025; Washington, Columbia district, United States; The launcher starting from the Rockies of the German Colorado Mark (48) throws the Nationals in Washington during the first round at the Nationals Park. Compulsory credit: Images of Brad Mills-Imagn Colorado Rockies have not yet won a home series this season, but they still have a chance to do this this weekend in a match between the two worst Majors teams.
The Colorado lost the opening on Friday evening of a three game set with the Chicago White Sox 3-2, but can win the victory of the series by winning the next two games.
The Rockies will send the German Marquez (3-9, 5.62 ERA) to the mound on Saturday, while the White SOX thwart with Jonathan Cannon (2-7, 4.59) in a right-handed match.
Marquez has launched well since May 17, when Arizona continued it after three rounds and seven points. In his eight departures since this defeat, he had only one bad start, on June 24 against the Los Angeles Dodgers, when he granted six points in four rounds.
Sunday in Milwaukee, he granted two points in 5 2/3 innings, but did not win the victory during the 4-3 victory in Colorado in 11 innings.
In two career beginnings against White Sox – both at home – Marquez is 1-1 with an MPM of 2.77.
Marquez is not the only rhythm player player. Tyler Freeman from the base has reached the base in 19 consecutive games and seems comfortable at the top of the range.
He went from his accent of power to the implementation since he came from Cleveland during the offseason, and it works.
“It’s in my hands. I checked the idea of trying to expand my game in terms of power. If I had looked and said:” I must be who I am “, things could have been different in Cleveland,” said Freeman. “But everything is happening for a reason, and it shows right now.”
Chicago ended a sequence of three consecutive defeats on Friday and can finish his 3-3 road trip if he can sweep the series in Denver. Cannon follows a spectacular start by Adrian Houser, who did not allow a deserved race in his eight rounds of the season, Friday evening.
Cannon faced the Rockies one time in his career on June 29, 2024, at home. He granted three points out of 5 2/3 rounds that night, but did not take into account the decision of a victory of 11-3 White Sox.
Cannon, 24, will make his second departure since his release from the list of wounded by 15 days due to a strain of the lower back. He launched only three rounds in the 5-2 victory of his team against San Francisco on Sunday, in part because his number of land was 69.
It was his only trip to the Il in his brief career in a major league.
“Being a starting launcher, one of the most precious things you can be is available and launching every fifth day. It was a minor hiccup,” Cannon said about his back injury. “I was fine in my professional career to take care of my body and take each start. Things happen, things you don’t want to come. But we have exceeded this as quickly as possible.
“I have the impression that we are in a very good place in the rest of the year. I’m just trying to go out and take each start.”
