Diamondbacks can’t complete comeback, Ketel Marte’s hit streak ends in loss to Mariners

The Diamondbacks’ inability to hit with runners in scoring position, coupled with Seattle’s power, led to the end of Arizona’s five-game winning streak in its 7-6 10th-inning loss in Seattle.

Randy Arozarena was the hero, but it was J.P. Crawford’s night.

The Mariners’ shortstop collected his first career multi-homer game, along with a web gem in the 10th inning to keep the D-backs off the board.

In the bottom of the 10th, Arozarena lined a double to center field to walk off the Diamondbacks.

This one will hurt. The D-backs had 13 hits on the night, but were just 3-for-17 with runners in scoring position.

The Mariners also had 13 hits, but four of them were home runs and the one non-home run RBI hit was the walk-off.

Diamondbacks overcome 5-run deficit

Crawford led off with the first of his two home runs to give the Mariners an early 1-0 lead, and Julio Rodriguez added a two-run shot in the third to extend their lead to 3-0.

Geraldo Perdomo got Arizona on the board with a solo shot of his own in the fourth, his third homer of the season and first since May 1.

Crawford connected on his second long ball in the fifth inning, this time with a two-run shot to extend Seattle’s lead to 5-1.

The D-backs’ offense woke up in the sixth to the tune of four runs to tie the game.

Ketel Marte started and ended the inning with outs, going 0-for-4 on the night to end his 11-game hitting streak, but Arizona had five hits and seven base runners between his two at-bats.

Corbin Carroll lined a single to center field and Perdomo blooped a double down the left field line, and they both came in to score on a Gabriel Moreno double to the center field wall.

Adrian Del Castillo drew a walk, and Ryan Waldschmidt followed with a clean single to load the bases for Ildemaro Vargas.

Vargas legged out a fielder’s choice to bring across Arizona’s fourth run, and Jose Fernandez hit a bloop single down the right field line to bring home Del Castillo and tie the game.

Tommy Troy walked, which loaded the bases for Marte in his second at-bat of the inning, and he struck out to end it.

With the game tied, Brandon Pfaadt entered in the sixth inning and the second batter (Luke Raley) homered to regain Seattle’s lead, 6-5.

The D-backs got a runner in scoring position in both the seventh and eighth innings, but couldn’t bring him home before they loaded the bases in the ninth and finally got that coveted tying run across the plate.

It came on Vargas’ second fielder’s choice RBI of the game.

However, Arizona couldn’t get the ghost runner home from second in the 10th, and Seattle did its job in the bottom of the inning.

Nolan Arenado left the game

Nolan Arenado did not start Friday’s game due to his groin injury but was thinking he could start on Saturday and was available off the bench Friday.

He did come off the bench in the seventh inning and was nailed by a 98-mph fastball, and left the game.

98 MPH hopefully this just a painful bruise… looks like he had an elbow guard on and the ball goes above it? Nolan Arenado just came back from injury today too…. pic.twitter.com/VQx6ttqQHI

The Diamondbacks will look to bounce back after Friday’s crushing loss on Saturday at 7:10 p.m. with Ryne Nelson on the mound. Seattle will have Bryan Woo pitching.
