Marlins ground into five double plays, commit three errors in 8-1 loss to Mets

-- The Marlins were one big eyesore on Saturday.

They made three errors in a single inning, grounded into a team-record five double plays, and lost 8-1 to the hapless Mets at Citi Field.

As overall performances go, it ranked as one of the worst of the season for the Marlins, who were trying to pull within a game of .500 but instead took a huge step back.

And most of the heavy damage was done in one awful inning: the sixth.

Trailing 1-0, the Mets came up with seven runs off Marlins starter Vance Worley and rookie reliever Drew Steckenrider.
