I'm Cory with the story.

Jermann Marquez finally grabbed his first win with the San Diego Padres, shutting down

the Pittsburgh Pirates in a clean 5-nothing victory on Monday.

Night.

The 31-year-old ridey win 5 solid innings, giving up just 6 hits, striking out 4, and walking

1 while throwing 92 pitches.

56 for strikes.

Marquez has been a decade with the Colorado Rockies, where he posted a 68 and 72 record

over 200 starts with a 4.6, 7 ERA.

But injuries hit hard.

He missed most of 2023 and 2024 after Tommy John's surgery, then tanked in 2025 with a 3

and 16 mark and a 6.70 ERA, as the Rockies set a franchise worst at 43 and 119.

Now he's rebuilding on a minor league deal he signed back in February, earning a rotation

spot after grinding through spring training.

His podger's debut last week was rough a 3-inning stinger with 4 runs and 8 hits in a 9-3

loss to San Francisco.

In Pittsburgh, he got big defensive health from Gold Glove star Fernando Tatis Jr, who

gunned down a runner trying to score from second in the second inning.

Marquez also wiggled out of a base his loaded threat in the fifth by popping up brand

in low and flying out Brian Reynolds.

This win puts Marquez back on track with San Diego, showing he can still compete as the

podger's keep pushing their rotation forward.
