Mattingly calls on MLB to look into calls from loss

Miami Marlins manager Don Mattingly has called on MLB to look into several calls by the umpires in Monday night's 7-3 loss to the visiting New York Mets.

He was especially upset that plate umpire Sam Holbrook ruled Juan Lagares was hit by a two-strike pitch trying to bunt, which sparked the Mets' ninth-inning rally.

"I'm not supposed to complain about calls, but the league needs to look at it," Mattingly said. "I don't understand a lot of it tonight. I understand the Marlins are not supposed to be good this year; I guess it's OK to pile on.
