Ketel Marte went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run on Saturday, lifting the Diamondbacks to a 5-4 win over the Rockies.
Fantasy Impact:
Marte took Rockies' starter Michael Lorenzen deep for a two-run shot in the fourth inning for his eight home run of the season - third in the last five games. He added a pair of singles and also walked and scored another run in the victory. After an 0-for-5 performance on May 15, Marte was slashing .209/.263/.356 on the season. Since then, he has put together a seven-game hitting streak during which he has gone 14-for-28 (.500) with nine runs scored, two doubles, three home runs, and nine runs batted in. He is now slashing .251/.308/.440 and is, arguably, the hottest hitter in baseball over the last week.
