A fist pump and a late fastball on the cusp of 100 mph was all the indication needed to know just how good German Marquez felt Saturday.

He pitched two-hit ball over eight innings and Ian Desmond homered as the Colorado Rockies beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-1.

Marquez (6-Cool retired his first 15 batters before Enrique Hernandez connected for a home run off the left-field foul pole leading off the sixth. After a Chase Utley single [url=http://www.ravensauthorizedshops.com/authentic-trace-mcsorley-jersey]Trace McSorley Jersey[/url] , Marquez dispatched the Dodgers on three fly balls to end the inning and pumped his right fist to emphasize the moment.

”Isn’t that great? I loved that” Rockies manager Bud Black said of the fist pump. ”He uses (his energy) with his fastball. I want him to use it with his fastball but not overthrow. There is a time you can stand on a pitch and lean on it and I think he does that.”

He appeared to do just that with his fastball in the eighth inning. Facing Hernandez two innings after the home run, Marquez struck out the Dodgers’ utility man on a 99.9 mph fastball.

”No doubt I let it rip on that one,” Marquez said through an interpreter. ”But I worked hard in my preparation in between starts and my goal is to maintain my stamina deep into games. I think today I was able to accomplish that.”

Marquez struck out nine and walked none after entering with a 5.53 ERA, third-worst among qualified National League starters.

The Rockies closed out June with three consecutive victories and two consecutive over the Dodgers after getting swept by Los Angeles in a three-game series at Coors Field to begin the month. Colorado finished June with an 11-16 record.

Dodgers starter Kenta Maeda (5-5) gave up three runs, two earned, on five hits over seven innings and lost for the first time in four June starts. He had a short stint on the disabled list during the month due to a right hip strain. He struck out nine for the second consecutive start.

”It was a good outing [url=http://www.billsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-ed-oliver-jersey]Ed Oliver Jersey[/url] ,” Maeda said through an interpreter. ”My desire is to be able to pitch deeper into the game and being able to pitch seven innings and is a good thing. But unfortunately, we didn’t get the win and that was something we wanted.”

The Rockies took a 1-0 lead in the fourth when DJ LeMahieu scored from third base on a passed ball by catcher Yasmani Grandal. Nolan Arenado struck out, but advanced to first with LeMahieu scoring when the ball got through Grandal.

Desmond went deep in the fifth for a 2-0 lead. It was his 17th home run of the season and career-best 13th on the road.

Trevor Story doubled for the Rockies in the seventh and scored on Chris Iannetta’s single to make it 3-1.

After a strong start to the month, the Dodgers finished June with a 17-9 record, losing four of their last five games.

CLOSER FOR THE DAY

Rockies reliever Adam Ottavino pitched the ninth Saturday for his second save. Closer Wade Davis, who earned the save after Tyler Anderson’s eight-inning outing Friday [url=http://www.billsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-cody-ford-jersey]http://www.billsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-cody-ford-jersey[/url] , was given the night off.

”He pitched great and he deserved to win,” Ottavino said of Marquez. ”That’s two games straight that we got eight innings out of our starters so we appreciate that down in the bullpen. I think everybody does on the team so I think that was just an awesome job by (Marquez).”

Davis is expected to return to the closer role Sunday.

DODGERS DRIVE 55

Hernandez’s home run gave the Dodgers 55 in the month of June, to increase their franchise record for a month. The previous record of 53 was set in June of last season.

His home run was his 14th of the season and third this week. Max Muncy and Joc Pederson each finished with 10 home runs in June. Pederson has 11 on the season.

”I worked really hard in the off season to get stronger and get in better shape,” said Hernandez, whose previous best was 11 home runs last season. ”Last year I hit a lot of doubles and this year those doubles are turning into homers. Hopefully we can keep swinging the bats in July the way we are in June.”

TRAINER’S ROOM

Rockies: OF David Dahl (broken right foot) is out of a walking boot and will join the team Monday in Colorado to continue his rehab.

Dodgers: RHP Walker Buehler (right rib microfracture), who made one appearance this week after returning from the DL [url=http://www.billsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-devin-singletary-jersey]Devin Singletary Jersey[/url] , will likely need two starts at Class A Rancho Cucamonga before he returns to the Dodgers, according to manager Dave Roberts. … RHP Pedro Baez (right biceps tendinitis) threw a 30-pitch bullpen session, but no timetable for his return has been revealed.

UP NEXT

Rockies right-hander Chad Bettis (5-1, 5.07 ERA) will be back on the road where he excels, as his five road victories were tied for third in the National League at the start of play Saturday. Dodgers right-hander Ross Stripling (6-2, 1.9Cool has a loss and a no-decision in his past two starts following a six-start win streak.

The skill just doesn’t match the amount of hype that each one of these players get. For some reason [url=http://www.billsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-dawson-knox-jersey]http://www.billsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-dawson-knox-jersey[/url] , each of these 15 NFL stars have entered a world where their talent is extremely overhyped and overrated. Whether it’s because of their off-field persona or on-field flare, each of these guys has found a way to captivate fans. Each of the guys on this list are a well-known NFL athlete. But each one of the following athletes are overwhelmingly overrated by their fanbase. Regardless of why it happened, these guys have found a way to carve out a spot among the league’s elite. Those athletes who are among the NFL’s best talents deserve the credit they get, but these 15 guys have sneaked their way into a comfortable spot at the top. Hence the reason why they make this list of the 15 stars who are completely overrated.But they shouldn’t be there. Each one of these guys surely deserve a spot in the NFL, but they don’t deserve to be on the pedestal on which they’ve been placed. No one’s doubting the talent and skill from veteran guys like Aaron Rodgers or even young studs like Derek Carr, who rightfully signed a contract to become the highest paid quarterbacks in the NFL. But this list does call out some guys who have been grouped in with the greats like Rodgers or Carr. Some will disagree with certain players who show up here [url=http://www.panthersauthorizedshops.com/authentic-brian-burns-jersey]Brian Burns Jersey[/url] , but we’ll let you know why they’re among the 15 guys in the NFL who are completely overrated.
