Márquez Delivers Historic 5-Inning Save for San Diego
Germán Márquez joins Madison Bumgarner as the only pitchers in 50 years to record a 5-inning save allowing no runs and two hits or fewer.
Germán Márquez threw five innings out of the Padres bullpen to record a save, surrendering zero runs on two or fewer hits. The performance is the longest save outing by any Padre since Tommie Sisk in 1969. In the last 50 years, only Madison Bumgarner in Game 7 of the 2014 World Series had previously achieved a five-inning save under those conditions. The outing signals Márquez is being used in a high-leverage multi-inning relief role for San Diego.
