Ketel Marte ripped a three-run homer with two outs in the ninth as the Arizona Diamondbacks rallied to stun the Texas Rangers 6-4 on Wednesday in the finale of a three-game series in Arlington, Texas.
Marte's home run off Phil Maton (2-4) was his fourth hit of the game and drove in Blaze Alexander, who was hit by a pitch, and Geraldo Perdomo, who had walked. James McCann triggered the two-out rally with a solo home run as the Diamondbacks scored four runs in the final frame to capture their second straight series.It was Marte's second game-winning homer in as many nights as his ninth-inning homer on Tuesday lifted Arizona to a 3-2 comeback win. John Curtiss (2-0) pitched the eighth for the Diamondbacks and Andrew Saalfrank retired all three batters he faced in the ninth to earn his first career save.Texas finished its nine-game homestand with just three victories. Jake Burger had a two-run homer among his two hits while Evan Carter also had two of the Rangers' seven hits.
Texas jumped to the lead in its first at bat when Carter, activated from the 10-day injured list just prior to the game, singled home Josh Smith after he opened the frame with a single.The Diamondbacks answered in the third with a two-out rally as Perdomo walked and stole second base before Marte drove him in with a single to left.Carter was also a huge part of the Rangers' next uprising, beginning the fourth with a double and then trotting home in front of Burger after the latter smashed his two-run homer.Arizona trimmed its deficit to 3-2 in the fifth on a Perdomo solo home run to right center. The Diamondbacks created a chance to tie the game in the bottom of the inning as Marte and Corbin Carroll singled, but Marte was thrown out at home on Adrian Del Castillo's single to right to end the inning.After that, the Diamondbacks did not have a hit and had just one baserunner until McCann homered with two outs in the ninth to cut the Texas lead to 4-3. That opened the floodgates and led to Arizona's stunning win.
