Down 3-0 in the 7th, Juan Lagares bases loaded double tied it up at 3.  Carlos Torres walked two in the 8th and allowed an RBI single to Mike Morse as the Marlins went on to win 4-3.  

NY Post: Bullpen’s scoreless streak ends as Mets fall to Marlins. After the Mets bullpen had run its scoreless streak to 17 ²/₃ innings, Carlos Torres left a pitch over the plate in the eighth inning Tuesday that Michael Morse hammered to center, and Juan Lagares’ throw home was a tad behind go-ahead run Martin Prado. And this time the Mets had no answer in the ninth...The rookie [Rafael] Montero, who was making a spot start to provide extra rest for the rotation, took a shutout into the sixth, but never got through the inning, allowing four singles that helped give the Marlins a 3-0 lead. J.T. Realmuto’s RBI single with two outs ended Montero’s night at 85 pitches. Buddy Carlyle entered and uncorked a wild pitch that scored the Marlins’ third run."  


The Braves also lost which kept the Mets 1st Place lead at 4.5 Games.

  1. I was the biggest LAGARES fan

    Got to know him good on the 3 seasons he was assigned to Syracuse

    Went from leading the Sally League in shortstop errors to, eventually a major league GG winner in center

    Yes, I said 3 seasons. Media Day came that third season when he walked into the room

    I belted out "Juan. What the he'll are you doing back here?"

    He belted back, "SEE? EVEN MACK THINKS I SHOULDN'T BE HERE!"

    Next day, he was kicked up.

  2. Thanks for sharing Mack.

    If Lagares started Game 1 of the 2015 World Series instead of Cespedes (who could have played LF or DHed that game with Cuddyer sitting), no inside the park HR to start the game. That big spacious ball park in KC needed the best fielder in CF.
