Marte hits two-run homer victory
Ketel Marte went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer, a walk and three runs scored Tuesday in the Diamondbacks’ 6-2 defeat of the Royals. Marte also homered Monday. He has 11 homers in his last 40 games, putting him at .294/.364/.521 for the season. He’s not yet one of the frontrunners for NL MVP, but he belongs in the conversation.
Marsh allows five runs in loss to Arizona
Alec Marsh lost to the Diamondbacks after allowing five runs in five innings on Tuesday. The Royals moved Kris Bubic to the pen after his Tommy John rehab rather than try him in Marsh’s spot, but we’ll see it that works out. Marsh has a 6.37 ERA in his last 10 starts and one relief appearance. He’s 7-7 with a 4.75 ERA overall, and it certainly seems like he’s getting worse.
