PHILADELPHIA — Ketel Marte during the regular season? Pretty good. Marte during the postseason? Pencil him in for a hit every day.

Marte extended his postseason hitting streak to 15 games with an RBI triple off Phillies starter Aaron Nola in the fifth inning of National League Championship Series Game 6 on Monday, matching Marquis Grissom for the longest streak to open a career in postseason history. The knock gave Arizona a 4-1 lead at the time.

Marte is two games shy of the overall postseason hitting streak record. Hank Bauer (1956-58), Derek Jeter (1998-99) and Manny Ramirez (2003-04) share that one with 17 in a row.

A hitting streak was probably not on Marte’s mind when he began it six years ago with the D-backs in the 2017 NL Wild Card Game against the Rockies. But Marte hit safely in all four of his games that postseason, then in his first 11 this October.

There have been some big ones along the way, including Marte’s solo homer in NL Division Series Game 3 against the Dodgers, and his walk-off single in NLCS Game 3 against the Phillies.

Marte added an RBI single in the seventh to give the D-backs a 5-1 lead.

Entering Game 6, Marte was batting .372 this postseason. He was a .276 hitter during the regular season, recording hits in 11 consecutive games at most. Marte’s career-best hitting streak was a run of 16 games in a row in 2022.
