MIAMI -- When the Mets acquired Robinson Canó over the offseason in a blockbuster trade with the Mariners, it signaled New York's determination to return to prominence both in the National League East and postseason landscape.
Five months later, the honeymoon appears to be over as Cano drew heat for his second baserunning gaffe during a disappointing weekend for the Mets. Their 3-0 loss to the rebuilding Marlins on Sunday afternoon at Marlins Park cemented Miami's first sweep since September 2017.
With a runner at first in a scoreless game in the fourth, Cano chopped the first pitch from Sandy Alcantara behind the plate. Catcher Chad Wallach pounced as the ball spun fair and threw to second base, where shortstop Miguel Rojas took his time going to first because Cano didn't run down the line. Instead, he questioned home-plate umpire Jordan Baker's ruling of the call. Mets manager Mickey Callaway came out to speak to Baker as well.
Cano also grounded into an inning-ending double play in the seventh (but did run it out) as Alcantara continued to face the minimum number of batters en route to his first complete game.
