Marshall did not pitch professionally until 1965 in the minor leagues. Marshall was purchased by the Detroit Tigers in 1966. He made his Major League debut with the Tigers on May 31, 1967, pitching one inning against the Cleveland Indians. He pitched in 37 games for the Tigers that season, all in relief, recorded 10 saves and had a 1.98 earned-run average. But the Tigers sent him back to the minors for 1968, and he was drafted by the Seattle Pilots with the 53rd pick in the 1968 Major League Baseball expansion draft.
The Pilots used Marshall mainly as a starter in his only season there, as he went 3–10 with a 5.14 ERA. His contract was purchased by the Houston Astros after the season and then traded to the Montreal Expos on June 23, 1970. He began to flourish with Montreal, posting an impressive ERA in 1972 at 1.78. Eventually, he led the National League in both saves and games pitched in 1973.
Marshall was traded from the Expos to the Dodgers for Willie Davis at the Winter Meetings on December 5, 1973. He won the National League Cy Young Award in 1974 as a member of the Dodgers, as well as being named the NL Pitcher of the Year by The Sporting News. During the 1974 season he set a Major League record for most appearances by a relief pitcher, appearing in 106 games. He was a member of the National League All Star Team in 1974 and 1975. Marshall was also named Fireman of the Year by TSN with three different teams: in the NL in 1973 with the Montreal Expos, in 1974 with the Los Angeles Dodgers, and a third time in 1979 in the American League with the Minnesota Twins (sharing the award with Jim Kern). He was voted the Montreal Expos Player of the Year in 1972 and 1973, and was also an original member of the Seattle Pilots.
Marshall, who relied primarily on an elusive screwball, led his league in games pitched four times, saves three times, and games finished five times. He is the holder of two major league records, both of which he set in the 1974 season: most appearances (games pitched) in a season (106), and most consecutive team games with a relief appearance (13). He also holds the American League record for games pitched in a season with 90 for Minnesota in 1979. In his record-setting 1974 season, he pitched 208+1⁄3 innings, all of which came in relief appearances. He attended Michigan State University, earning three degrees, including a Doctor of Philosophy in exercise physiology. In the months preceding his 1974 Cy Young season, Marshall considered retiring in order to work on his Ph.D. Marshall pitched for the Dodgers that year.
