Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Hitting streak reaches eight games

Marte went 2-for-5 with a run scored in Friday's 8-7 win over the Dodgers.

Analysis:

Marte's hitting streak now stands at eight games, with the infielder having scored five runs over the past four contests. The Diamondbacks seem to have committed to Marte as their No. 2 hitter, so his run-scoring opportunities should remain plentiful while he slots in directly in front of A.J. Pollock and Paul Goldschmidt in most contests.
