BALTIMORE -- The Diamondbacks took the field at Oriole Park at Camden Yards for only the 13th time in club history on Monday night. Ketel Marte and Nolan Arenado probably wish they’d visit a lot more often.
Marte and Arenado each homered twice against the Orioles in the opener of the third and final series of Arizona's nine-game East Coast swing. The pair has now connected on 12 combined Camden Yards home runs in their careers, in only 27 career games between them.
Marte has four homers on the season, all coming on the road with three in the last three games. He is slashing .215/.282/.431 following Monday’s fourth at-bat. Arenado’s were the first of the 2026 campaign.
Marte absolutely demolished the first pitch of the night from Orioles starter Dean Kremer for his 15th career leadoff home run, then followed that with another solo shot two innings later for his first multihomer game since June 3 last year.
The first shot, the bombastic result of a swing at Kremer’s 93.5 mph fastball well above the zone, landed a Statcast-projected 443 feet, making it the first Eutaw Street HR of the season and first clubbed by a D-backs player.
The ball was 3.70 feet off the ground when Marte made contact, making it the second-highest pitch he had taken deep in his career.
The second, measured at a Statcast-projected 405 feet, apparently fell a few feet shy of Marte becoming the second player in ballpark history to reach the thoroughfare twice in one game.
Arenado got in on the act in the fourth and sixth innings to plate five runs total.
Like Marte, Arenado also went after one of Kremer’s elevated fastballs in the fourth, pulling it deep enough in left that it would’ve cleared the walls even before the Orioles moved the fences back in before last season.
Two frames later, he sent Albert Suarez’s hanging cutter back into the Orioles' bullpen that the veteran had just departed.
