Pirates' Starling Marte: Goes 2-for-5 with stolen base in blowout win

Marte recorded two hits in five at-bats and collected a run and a stolen base in Tuesday's 12-1 win over the Diamondbacks.

Analysis:

Marte's sitting on only three homers and 16 RBI on the season despite primarily serving as the Pirates' cleanup hitter, but beyond that, he's trending toward career-best production in just about every other category. The two-hit night boosted his average to .325 and his 14 stolen bases nearly put him half way to last season's total of 30.
