Marcell Ozuna's incredible throwing arm saved the Marlins in their 3-2 win over the Mets on Friday night, but it was catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia's tag of Kirk Nieuwenhuis the plate that put MLB's new collision rule to the test.
As the Marlins celebrated the game-ending double play, the Mets challenged the call and said Salty blocked the plate. After a review of 55 seconds, the call was confirmed by MLB's Eye in the Sky and Nieuwenhuis was called out.
"Everybody was a little frustrated at the end of the game for a variety of reasons. I'll leave it at that," Mets general manager Sandy Alderson said. "There's been confusion on other rules, including a variation on plays at the plate."
