Marte hits solo home run in loss
Ketel Marte hit a solo homer in a loss to Atlanta on Friday. Marte got the party started for the Diamondbacks with a solo blast off Spencer Strider (elbow), and the 30-year-old is up two two roundtrippers on the young season. It was the only hit of the game for Marte, but a .353 average and .588 slugging mark over the eight games tells you just how good he’s been to begin the 2024 season.
Olson homers, doubles in win
Matt Olson homered and doubled while driving in two runs in a 6-5 victory for Atlanta over the Diamondbacks on Friday. Olson homered in the third off Tommy Henry, and it was scorched; travelling an estimated 424 feet. The 30-year-old got Atlanta to within a run with an RBI double in the ninth, and he came around to score on Jarred Kelenic’s double off the bench. Olson is now slugging .664 on the season with a pair of homers and an average of an RBI a game, and it’s safe to say he’ll have more stretches like this deeper into the year.
