Poor Umpiring Leads to Miami Marlins Loss Against Mets

With 6,489 on hand at Marlins Park, the New York Mets defeated the Miami Marlins by a 7-3 final score. The Mets were the recipient of a blown call with a runner on first and nobody out in the top of the ninth inning and the score tied at three. Drew Steckenrider had Juan Lagares at the plate and a 3-2 count. Lagares offered the bunt as the pitch approached the plate, and he bunted it foul, strike three, right?

Wrong. Lagares shook his hand vigorously and the umpires awarded him first base, moving Dominic Smith to second.
