CINCINNATI -- Confusion reigned in the first inning Wednesday at Great American Ball Park, where the Mets batted out of order in their game against the Reds.
The lineup card that Mets coach Ruben Amaro Jr. gave umpires listed Asdrubal Cabrera batting second and Wilmer Flores third -- a different lineup than the one the Mets released publicly hours before the game. In that one, Flores was listed second and Cabrera third, which is the order they actually came to the plate.
But after Cabrera doubled with two outs, Reds interim manager Jim Riggleman alerted umpires to the discrepancy.
