Marte`s patience part of his growth as player
(MLB.com Pittsburgh Pirates)

With two outs in the first inning of Wednesday afternoon`s game with the Pirates, Starling Marte swung and missed at a two-strike curveball that bounced several feet in front of the plate. Standing on the field between innings, Marte shrugged his shoulders, seemingly frustrated with himself. A few hours later, Marte showed a different side of his game: his newfound patience. With the bases loaded in the fourth inning of Wednesday`s doubleheader nightcap, Marte fell behind Tigers left-hander Matthew Boyd, but worked his way back into the count and drew a bases-loaded walk.
