CBSsports.com reported that J.T. Riddle was once again in the Miami Marlins lineup for the third consecutive game. The 26-year-old has two hits in his last 17 at-bats. Miguel Rojas scored the winning run in the victory for the Marlins, who needed a shot of adrenaline after a poor start to the month of August.
It is not known if the move to bench Riddle is temporary or when manager Don Mattingly may write him in the starting lineup.
The Marlins are now 7-4 this season in extra-inning games following last night's 11-inning victory over the Mets.
