Edwin Diaz works out of jam to close out Mets’ win: ‘Didn’t feel nerves’
NY Post
MIAMI — Edwin Diaz thought he was about to start a game-ending double play.
But after the Mets closer fielded Bryan De La Cruz’s grounder in the ninth inning Monday and turned toward second base, he saw nobody covering the bag.
Diaz redirected and threw to first, but too late.
The Marlins now had the bases loaded — after an earlier single and walk — with one out.
Diaz escaped with only one run scoring and earned the save in the Mets’ 6-4 victory over the Marlins.
“I didn’t feel nerves,” Diaz said. “I was just feeling so good throwing my fastball. I feel like it had a lot of life today so I couldn’t control it. That’s why I think I got in trouble because I couldn’t throw it for a strike.”
