Ketel Marte's torrid July for Diamondbacks stands out from scoreboard watching, trade speculation

In a stadium lousy with scouts, trade speculation and scoreboard watchers, Ketel Marte just keeps hitting.

He’s so hot that his final RBI in the Diamondbacks' 5-2 win over the Orioles on Wednesday came when his mere presence scared Baltimore relief pitcher Tanner Scott into bouncing a fastball three feet in front of home plate.

“That was a big at-bat by Marte with the bases loaded,” Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said.

Marte came up in the seventh with the Diamondbacks clinging to a 4-2 lead.
