D-Backs Lose to Cardinals After Star Ketel Marte Fails to Use ABS System on Blown Call
Marte did not use an ABS challenge on the final strike, and the Diamondbacks also committed an error and a ninth-inning pickoff in the 5-4 loss.
- The Arizona Diamondbacks fell 5-4 to the Louis Cardinals on Friday night when All-Star Ketel Marte failed to challenge a called strike three by umpire Bill Miller for the final out.
- Major League Baseball's ABS system allows players to challenge pitches they believe were called incorrectly, yet the Diamondbacks held two unused challenges when Marte stepped to the plate.
- Television replays showed the 100 mph sinker from Riley was high and out of the strike zone, while the loss featured other mistakes including an error by Marte and Jorge Barrosa getting picked off at first base.
- Manager Torey Lovullo expressed frustration with the team's execution. "There are 15 other things that happened in this game," Lovullo said, vowing the coaching staff would address mistakes individually.
- Marte acknowledged his current struggles, stating, "I'm not at my best moment right now," while expressing confidence that pitchers respect his capabilities when performing at his peak.
