Gallen Struggles, Marte Defended

The Diamondbacks surged ahead with Corbin Carroll’s 11th homer but saw Zac Gallen struggle early, surrendering four hits and two strikeouts as the Marlins rallied to take a 2-1 lead by the third. Manager Torey Lovullo fiercely defended Ketel Marte amid growing narrative pressure, calling claims about Marte’s team chemistry “untrue” and emphasizing that rest is strategic to avoid injury. Marte, playing in his 62nd game, remains vital to the lineup. Meanwhile, Dave McKay is sidelined for personal reasons, Travis Denker steps in, and players like Lourdes Gurriel Jr. and Jordan Lawlar inch closer to returning. A.J. Puk is also progressing with a bullpen session planned for the weekend. The D-backs face the Marlins again Wednesday, then head to Cincinnati for a series starting Friday, with Eduardo Rodriguez on the mound.
