Liz got beaten up last time out after three successful starts since joining the rotation, so let's hope he can turn in a solid performance today. We also really need it, having wound up using so much of the 'pen yesterday, and with Albers having his shoulder discomfort.
I get the feeling we'll have to really tag Marquis, though.
