Starling Marte Thrown Out at Plate in Mets' Loss

Starling Marte contributed with a solo home run and a two-out double in the ninth inning for the New York Mets against the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday, but was ultimately thrown out at home trying to tie the game, ending the contest. Despite concerns about his sprint speed (28th percentile) and recent leg injuries, Mets manager Carlos Mendoza opted not to pinch-run for him, stating Marte is a "good runner too" and his sprint speed was up on the play.
