LF Chris Marrero broke up RHP Tyler Chatwood's no-hit bid with two outs in the sixth inning of Saturday's 5-0 loss to the Colorado Rockies. Marrero didn't start the game, and wasn't even manager Bruce Bochy's first choice to replace injured LF Jarrett Parker. But when Bochy pulled his starting pitcher, LHP Matt Moore, in the top of the sixth inning, he moved his replacement left fielder, INF/OF Aaron Hill, in to third base, and summoned Marrero to take over in left. Marrero's hit came in the bottom of that inning.
