1. The Marlins are in the fight for the third wild-card spot in the National League. On Thursday night, they played the Mets in New York. After trailing 1–0, Miami scored two runs in the top of the ninth inning. The Marlins then had runners on first and second with two outs when the umpires decided to stop the game due to rain.
At around 1 a,m, ET, more than three hours after the tarp went on the field, the game was suspended and Miami will have to fly back to New York on Monday, after playing three games in Pittsburgh this weekend, to finish it if it’s needed for playoff implications.
Naturally, Marlins manager Skip Schumaker was not happy and wanted the game completed in the worst way.
