Marlins Riddle Continues To Ride Bench, Miami Wins In Extras
Miami Marlins shortstop J.T. Riddle was not in the lineup again on Saturday night as Miguel Rojas played the position in a 4-3 win over the New York Mets in 11 innings.
CBSsports.com reported that J.T. Riddle was once again in the Miami Marlins lineup for the third consecutive game. The 26-year-old has two hits in his last 17 at-bats. Miguel Rojas scored the winning run in the victory for the Marlins, who needed a shot of adrenaline after a poor start to the month of August.
It is not known if the move to bench Riddle is temporary or when manager Don Mattingly may write him in the starting lineup.
