POSTGAME: Is Ketel Marte’s ABSENCE Causing the D-backs’ Downward Spiral in Series Loss to Red Sox?

The Arizona Diamondbacks’ downward spiral continues as they fall to the Boston Red Sox 9-4 on Tuesday, dropping the series on the road. But the loss feels like much more than another game in the standings. With the Ketel Marte drama entering Day 2 and no resolution in sight, the D-backs looked listless and completely out of answers. We break down Merrill Kelly’s brutal outing, as he surrendered 6 earned runs in a start Arizona desperately needed. Gabriel Moreno briefly gave the D-backs and all of us hope with a grand slam, but the bullpen gave three more runs right back and slammed the door on any potential comeback. So, who is to blame for this one? And has Arizona finally reached the “all is lost” moment of its season? We dive into the loss, the growing Marte situation, and why the D-backs suddenly feel like a team in serious trouble.
