Carlos Marmol is an outstanding relief pitcher. His 1.43 ERA for the regular season is proof of how good he is. In Game 1 of the National League Division Series he gave up a homer to Diamondback player Mark Reynolds, but that's not the sole reason why the Cubs lost the game. A little more offensive help from Cub batters would have turned the game around.
The real issue with Game 1 was the decision to relieve Carlos Zambrano at a point when he was dominating Arizona batters. Marmol didn't make that decision.
