FACTS/FLUKES: Marte, Freeman, Gennett, Corbin, F. Rodriguez

Marte's power lacking ... Starling Marte (OF, PIT) was scorching hot at the end of 2014, when he hit .354 with eight home runs over the final two months of the season. He got off to a slow start in the batting average department in 2015, but through June 9, had racked up 12 home runs and 10 steals in just 211 at-bats. Marte's average has rebounded, but the power has been MIA for nearly three months now.
