Marte had three hits Tuesday, including his 13th double of the season, backing up a four-hit night Monday.
Marte, who doubled twice Monday, ranks third among AL shortstops in doubles. He also has 17 multi-hit games (7th). He has eight stolen bases, though he doesn't run that often -- five of those steals came in a three-game span in early June. Marte makes good contact but needs to walk more (3.5 percent walk rate), which would help his .310 OBP and give him more opportunities for stolen bases. He usually leads off against left-handers despite a .288 OBP vs. southpaws with two walks in 80 plate appearances.
