Watch: Marlins' extra-innings mistake leads to loss vs. Mets

Originally posted on Larry Brown Sports | By Larry Brown | Last updated 7/10/22

The Miami Marlins literally threw away the game in their 5-4 loss to the New York Mets in 10 innings on Saturday.

The game was tied 3-3 heading into the 10th. Miami scored a run in the top of the 10th to take a 4-3 lead. Then in the bottom of the 10th, the Mets began with a pair of strikeouts. Tomas Nido doubled in a run to tie the game. The following batter was Brandon Nimmo, who hit a two-out grounder to pitcher Tanner Scott.

Scott should have been able to field the ball and throw to first for the final out of the inning. But Scott bobbled the ball and then threw it into the dirt, allowing the winning run to score.
