Ketel Marte breaks out, leads Diamondbacks in win over Giants
By the Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO — Ketel Marte homered, doubled twice and singled as the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the San Francisco Giants 6-5 on Friday night to snap a five-game losing streak.
Marte went deep in the first inning off Giants lefty Tyler Anderson. The Diamondbacks escaped a late jam and ended an eight-game losing streak on the road.
Nick Ahmed had three hits for the Diamondbacks and rookie catcher Daulton Varsho drove in two runs.
Arizona took a 6-3 lead in the fifth. Down by a run in the eighth, the Giants loaded the bases with no outs.
Alex Dickerson flied out to shallow right and Mauricio Dubon wandered too far off second base and was doubled off to squelch the rally.
