Mets @ Cardinals, top 7, Cano on a count of 0 and 1 is struck on the wrist by an Andrew Miller fastball, reels backwards several yards and goes down in a heap. Several minutes later, after Mickey Calloway has been ejected, Juan Lagares pinch hits with an 0-2 count. Announcers befuddled. Resolution comes after the inning break: though he was never publicly asked for a ruling, the third base umpire told the home plate umpire that Cano had offered at the pitch.
Subsequent replays indicated that perhaps Molina exchanged a word with the home plate umpire. Maybe asking him to ask for help from the third base umpire.
