Embattled New York Mets manager Mickey Callaway defended Robinson Cano after the second baseman had another base-running lapse in Sunday's 3-0 loss to the Miami Marlins.
It was the second time in three days Cano failed to run hard after hitting a groundball as the reeling Mets were spet by the Marlins.
On Sunday, Cano failed to run when he hit a grounder that bounced off the dirt behind home plate and rolled a few feet fair. Cano stood at the plate questioning the call while the Marlins completed a 2-6-3 double play.
