Recently Jason Marquis won is 4th game of the season beating the Atlanta Braves. So far this season he is 4-1 with a 3.66 ERA on a Nationals team that
is 17-18. He ranks 6th among N.L. pitchers in fewest walks per 9
innings (1.60) and 9th in strikeout-to-walk ratio (3.714/tie). This win was special because it was the 100th of his career. He is the 5th Jewish pitcher to win 100 games. Ken Holtzman, Sandy Koufax, Steve Stone, and Dave Roberts are the other four. This a big accomplishment for Marquis who could have done this a year earlier had he not been injured for almost the entire season.
