Don Mattingly Wants MLB to Look into Calls; 'I Guess It's OK to Pile On' Marlins

Miami Marlins manager Don Mattingly wants answers following his team's 7-3 loss to the New York Mets on Monday night.

New York's four-run ninth-inning rally was aided by a controversial hit batsman that saw center fielder Juan Lagares appearing to bunt a ball foul with two strikes while trying to sacrifice a runner to second. However, the umpires ruled Lagares did not offer at the high-and-in pitch while getting struck, awarding him first base. The ruling was upheld upon review.

Instead of having a runner at first with one out, the Mets had first and second with no outs.
