Ragans gave up six hits, walked two and struck out five. The win was his seventh on the season and third in his last five starts. He was hit hard in the third inning as he allowed a double to Kevin Newman, an RBI double to Alek Thomas and a two-run home run to Ketel Marte. Otherwise, Ragans was able to grind through the rest of his outing to post a quality start despite not having his best stuff. He has a 3.23 ERA on the year. The 26-year-old left-hander is set to face the Cubs at home this weekend.
He's hitting second, as per usual. Kevin Newman returns to the bench with Marte back.
Marte was removed from Friday's lineup with tightness in his back and he wasn't able to play Saturday, either. The 30-year-old will miss at least one more game with Kevin Newman hitting ninth and playing second base.
If he can't play Saturday, then the Diamondbacks will use Kevin Newman at second base, since they sent down their best alternative, Blaze Alexander, for no good reason.
