Marte has a hit in all 15 career postseason games, matching Marquis Grissom for longest hit streak all-time to begin a postseason career. His 18 hits this postseason are the 2nd-most by a Diamondbacks player all-time, trailing only Steve Finley (19) in 2001.
Also for Arizona, Alek Thomas, will not be in center field, with Carroll sliding over from right and Tommy Pham moving from designated hitter to right field and hitting in the No. 5 spot.
