Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte extends his record-setting postseason hitting streak, leaves fans amazed: "Can’t be stopped"

Ketel Marte of the Arizona Diamondbacks continued to pile up hits as he extended his postseason hitting streak with a hit against the Texas Rangers in Game 3 of the World Series at Chase Field.

With a single to right field off Rangers' Jon Gray, Marte extends his hitting streak to 19 games on Monday night. Earlier in Game 2, he broke the postseason record with a two-run single, pushing his hitting streak to 18 games, as he surpassed Derek Jeter, Hank Bauer and Manny Ramirez for the longest streak.

Fans soon reacted to the record and appreciated Marte for his consistent showing in October baseball:

"Man just can't be stopped," wrote one fan

"Ketel Marte is too good. Historic," another fan wrote

Here are a few other reactions from fans:

While Ketel Marte's hit may be historic, the Dbacks are still trailing the game 3-1 and many fans took note of it, urging other hitters to come up too.

It is a sell-out crowd at Chase Field and the D-backs wouldn't like to disappoint their fans. To their relief, three-time Cy Young winner Max Scherzer exited the game due to an injury after pitching three scoreless innings. Moreover, the Rangers' postseason hero, Adolis Garcia also exited the game in the eighth with an injury.

However, they are currently trailing, and it remains to be seen if they can come out victorious in Game 3.
