Mandatory Credit: Allan Henry-USA TODAY Sports The Arizona Diamondbacks lost two key players during Saturday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies in Phoenix.
Starting pitcher Zac Gallen exited the contest in the fifth with an apparent groin injury, leaving one inning after All-Star second baseman Ketel Marte departed with an apparent left leg injury.
Gallen appeared to tweak something after he dodged Bryce Harper's run-scoring groundout across the mound that cut Arizona's lead to 2-1.
Diamondbacks trainers and manager Torey Lovullo came out to examine Gallen, who promptly exited without throwing a warmup pitch. Gallen left after allowing one run on five hits over 4 1/3 innings. He walked two and struck out three.
The right-hander entered Saturday 9-5 with a 3.75 ERA for Arizona, which is 15-5 since the All-Star break.
Marte was hurt while covering second base on Garrett Stubbs' two-out double in the top of the fourth. Stubbs slid headfirst into the bag and rolled over Marte's lower left leg as Marte applied a late tag.
Marte remained down for a few seconds as a trainer and Lovullo attended to him. Marte was in visible pain as he stood up and gingerly retreated to the dugout amid MVP chants from the Arizona crowd.
Kevin Newman took over for Marte, who hit his 30th home run of the season in the first inning and walked in the second. Marte also has 81 RBIs this year and is batting .299.
