Ketel Marte Swats Seventh Home Run
2 years agoArizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte took Boston Red Sox starter Garrett Whitlock deep in the first inning for his seventh home run of the season. That homer would account for all of Arizona's scoring as the Diamondbacks dropped a 2-1 contest to the Red Sox Saturday. Marte has a hit in seven straight games, and his average is up to .277 entering play Sunday. Overall, he's enjoying a nice comeback season, slashing .277/.338/.471 with seven home runs, 21 RBI, 28 runs, and four stolen bases over 213 plate appearances in 2023. Marte will look to build on Saturday's performance in the series finale versus Boston.
