Ketel Marte went 1-for-5 with an RBI single in the eighth inning on Sunday as the Diamondbacks defeated the Padres, 11-7.
Fantasy Impact
Marte's RBI single in the eighth was his first run batted in since April 13, snapping a string of eight straight games without an RBI. It also extended his hitting streak to a modest six games during which he has gone 8-for-26 (.308) at the plate. Marte has been a disappointment for fantasy owners thus far, slashing just .238/.298/.391 over 105 at bats. But, the second baseman is starting to show signs of getting on track.

Fantasy Impact
Marte took Orioles' starter, Dean Kramer, deep on the very first pitch of the game to jump start the Arizona offense. He homered again in his next at bat - with one out in the third - to give the Diamondbacks a 2-0 lead. His first-inning home run was the second time in three games he led off with a bomb. The second baseman upped his season average to .212 (14-for-66) with four home runs and nine runs batted in. He's hit safely in six of his last eight games as he continues to break out of his slow start to the year.

The second baseman is off to a slow start at the dish, slashing just .197/.258/.328 through 15 games. He has been a bit better over his last six games, hitting .250 (7-for-28) with five of his seven RBI on the year.
