Marlins suffer yet another late-inning collapse in loss to Cardinals

Maybe Don Mattingly simply refuses to watch it anymore.

For the second night in a row, Mattingly was ejected and spent the final innings of another loss — the latest a nauseating 6-5 meltdown to the Cardinals in which the Marlins bullpen blew a 5-1 lead — from the sanctum of the clubhouse.

After Don Straily turned in seven strong innings and even sparked the offense with a successful suicide squeeze bunt, the Marlins crumbled like a loaf of stale bread.

The Cardinals erased a four-run deficit in the eighth off relievers Kyle Barraclough and Brad Ziegler before taking the lead in the ninth off A.
