The last of the fireworks fizzled out over the weekend, but the Rockies and Nationals electrified the crowd with an old-school pitching duel Monday night as Colorado claimed victory in just the eighth 1-0 game in Coors Field history.
Not that Jason Marquis needed it as he recorded his best-in-baseball 11th win, but the game served as an exclamation point after his All-Star selection Sunday. The veteran right-hander tossed eight shutout innings, extending his scoreless streak to 17 frames. That stretch includes a complete-game victory over the Dodgers.
