German Marquez Throws Gem as Rockies Blank Cubbies; Other MLB News

(AP) — German Marquez had an afternoon to remember while leading the Colorado Rockies over the defending World Series champs.

Marquez carried a no-hitter into the seventh and collected his first big league hit in a 3-0 shutout of the Chicago Cubs in Denver. The no-hitter ended when Kris Bryant led off the seventh with a double, a half-inning before Marquez hit a two-run single that capped the scoring.

The 22-year-old right-hander scattered three hits and struck out eight in eight innings after entering the game 0-2 with a 7.31 ERA in three starts this season.

The Rockies improved to 22-13 by taking the rubber match of the three-game set.

The Cubs are at .500 at 17-17 following their fifth loss in six games.

Dodgers lose Toles for season

(AP) — Dodgers outfielder Andrew Toles will need season-ending surgery after tearing the ACL in his right knee during Tuesday's game against Pittsburgh. He landed awkwardly while trying to catch Andrew McCutchen's double, which ended a no-hit bid by Julio Urias.

Toles was hitting .275 with five home runs and 15 RBIs.
