[AZ Central] Diamondbacks swept by Cardinals, finish 1-5 on brutal road trip - The ball was smashed on one-hop toward Ketel Marte on Sunday afternoon, May 25, and the Diamondbacks’ second baseman went to his backhand. The shot skipped up to eye-level with Marte, who tried to snatch it and spin in one motion. It ricocheted off his glove and into right field for a go-ahead single. The play might have been the difference in the Diamondbacks’ 4-3 loss as the St. Louis Cardinals completed a three-game sweep at Busch Stadium. It was not so much that Marte should have made it, just more that he could have and didn’t — a theme of sorts on their just-completed road trip.
