Marte Shows Off, Hits for Cycle
Wednesday, July 16th , 2014
Ketel Marte showed off his speed, his power and his plate discipline at Chase Field, putting together all facets of his game to hit for the cycle in the Arizona win.
The 25-year-old center fielder went 4-for-4, collecting 1 single, 1 double, 1 triple and 1 home run to help the Diamondbacks top the Miami Marlins by a score of 6-1. A jubilant Marte told reporters afterward that the experience was "unimaginable."
"Seriously, I would have been happy going 1-for-4 with just the double," he said. "So this feels incredible."
For the day, Marte finished with 3 RBI and 2 runs scored to go with his 4 hits.
Ketel Marte tripled in the 1st, hit an RBI double in the 3rd, hit a two-run home run off Kevin Brown in the 5th and singled in the 7th.
In 88 games Marte is hitting .332 this season with 114 hits, 9 home runs, 43 RBIs, 22 walks, .372 OBP and has scored 53 runs.
