Diamondbacks Win Series Over Rangers With Marte Ninth-Inning Homer

Ketel Marte has been instrumental in the Arizona Diamondbacks' recent victories over the Texas Rangers, hitting crucial ninth-inning home runs in back-to-back games. On Tuesday, Marte's solo homer off reliever Danny Coulombe, who had not allowed a home run all season, secured a 3-2 comeback win for Arizona, marking their fourth win in five games. The following day, Marte delivered a two-out, three-run homer in the ninth inning, contributing to a 6-4 rally and a series-clinching victory. Marte's performance included multiple hits and RBIs, with his recent 10-game streak showing strong offensive stats including a .308 batting average and a .413 on-base percentage. The Rangers struggled offensively in these matchups, managing few hits late in games and dropping the final two games of their nine-game homestand. Arizona's bullpen also played a key role, with relievers such as Jalen Beeks and Juan Morillo securing important outs and saves.
