Cards' Oliver Marmol rips Tyler O'Neill's 'unacceptable' effort

ST. LOUIS -- Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol questioned outfielder Tyler O'Neill's effort after he was thrown out at home during a 4-1 loss to the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday night.

With St. Louis trailing 4-1 with two out in the seventh inning, O'Neill attempted to score on Brendan Donovan's pinch-hit liner to right. But O'Neill was cut down by Ronald Acuna Jr. at the plate.

Marmol took issue with O'Neill's turn around third on the sharply hit ball to Acuna.

"That's not our style of play as far as the effort, rounding the bag there," Marmol said.
